Smart Investor, you forgot the important things, GROWTH of sector and GROWTH of company . I am going not to compare P/E between oil stocks, biotech stocks, tech stocks, financial and banking stocks, mining stocks, and internet stocks. MM

Thread: I'm just dying to reload an account for which options are authorized and get puts on Yahoo! or AOL or AMZN. Might do it early this summer if the internuts don't flame out before that time. Please tell me it is a bad idea, I did not do well the last time I played with puts...talk some sense into me. Oh, saw the Yahoo's on one of those business channels the other day, cool high-backed pink chair, nice touch. Definately a serious company. ha ha. 150B for AOL eh? Can you imagine what a three Billion-dollar infrastructure project in each and every state of the union would look like? That is a lot of money, half of which will go poof! sometime this year.
