MicroHoo or YaSoft?

Thinking about doing a straddle on YHOO as a buy-out play, but could not pull the trigger because I am uncertain about the potential room for any downside move.

Thought about getting back into V put position, but the early stupidity really messed up my psyche today.

In other words, I need do some serious beer-boarding on myself tonight!

I will be punishing myself with beers, bro's and one babe in particular who will calm my psych after this week...Bought back in to drys at 77 on a technical breakout...I sat here the last ten minutes weighing if I should pull the yhoo trade and for some reason couldn't pull the trigger, it might pop, then again the writers have made a fortune off this scenario and I'm not in the habit of giving those creeps my money...great week for you wabbit, very aggro!....braaap

Razor:
have a great time with the 3 Bs! I always have a blast when 3 Bs align up like that, making you feel like that this is what a life is all about!
On the second thought, maybe I should've taken a small straddle on MicroHoo, now I felt a bit YaSoft!

I studied the E.R. list for Mon & Tues and looked at NILE. Very little price movement on ER May 10 07 or Nov 8 07. Big downside Aug 9 and Dec 30 but you must remember that both of those ER's coincided with dramatic S&P down moves , too.
EL before the bell Tuesday and TS after the close Tuesday looked best to me. Anybody have experience with those two ?
