I shorted a few hundred only through E*Trade at 8, just as a starter position. If it closes over 5 today and looks weak I may add to that. Too bad I didn't go long when I saw it jump from 5 to over 6 in a few minutes. You never know who will be left holding the bag with these puppies. On the option side I recently added added AND Feb 5 puts and OMPT May 5 puts. These are both turkeys which will crash to the ground sooner or later.
