I expressed a desire to be relieved of the (self-imposed) necessity of focusing 100% on BPL. I have flunked this test completely during the last eighteen months.

Companies in trouble (via high levels of shorting - SEC's Regulation SHO, class action lawsuits), pump and dump candidates, and previous losers, were the tests which had the worst performance compared to S&P for 2005.
The lesson? Don't buy losers. Buy winners!

NEW is trading at $36.00 right now. This upcoming Friday is options expiration day and the maximum pain is $35.00, which means, the stock is probably going to drop a buck between now and December 16, 2005.
However, the January max pain is around $45 and falling. With new contracts being added every day, perhaps, It'll fall all the way down to $35 again. I dunno. Perhaps you can make some money between this differential. It'll also be paying a dividend for those who hold the stock around January 18, 2006.
