Michael, >>I am not saying to dump them. Just that if you hold a huge position, the future may not be as solid as the recent past. Thanks for your thoughts on reits. Now the big question is where is the future solid. I believe your take on the next growth industry in biotechs. Also I hear you saying you think commodities are close to their bottom. Any thoughts on other groups? BTW, how do you like the yield on PD?<ggg> Joan

MB-I was thinking about puts on an internet type index but when I looked at the stock mix it wasn't a pure internet plus AMZN type play. I assume buying AMZN near term puts and repurchasing them upon expiration until AMZN goes down is the logical approach???? The premiums as you know are high because alot of people think it has to go down eventually. Also with the large cap market so high is the S&P 500 put approach the way to go if I wanted to buy some insurance for my long positions. Thanks for your thoughts. Bob
