AMZN and YHOO are trading lower in Frankfurt (couple of points) in advance of the NY opening. Am still fond of my "bubble wrap" theory--that each of the bubbles can pop individually before the whole big bubble deflates. And so far my portfolio of LEAP puts is doing OK. I can't brag of doubles, triples, etc., but am up close to 20% in five weeks, in a market that has yet to make a real downward break. I wish I had the money to add some SCH. And more of those MU 50s.

I guess if you consider MSFT, DELL, CSCO bubble stocks, then I am a bubble investor. haha... As far as accounting goes as long as the stock goes up I don't care. I bought YHOO on 12-22-98 at $242 and sold at $403 (2) days before earnings. that's 161 points in about (3) weeks. Look at all the accounting practices that come in to question with YHOO. (SoftBank) This attitude may come back and bite me bad.... Oh well that's the risk I take. So far it has paid off very well. Hope your strategy does the same.
