Here are the highlights from the Featured Expert column:

All of Ken Trester's indicators continue to give sell signals. But the market is quite oversold and we saw a one day reversal this past week, suggesting that a dead cat bounce is possible here. But the longer-term bias is still to the downside.

Put Option to Buy -- Buy America Movil (NYSE:AMX) Jan 30 Put. The option price at Friday close was $1.80. American Movil is the leading provider of wireless communications services in Mexico. The option target price is $2.90, a 61% profit. The simulated probability of the option reaching its target price is 23%.

Put Option to Buy -- Buy Weyerhaeuser (NYSE:WY) Jul 55 Put at an option price of $1.70 or less. Weyerhaeuser is principally engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber and the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products, real estate development and construction, and other real estate related activities. The option target price is $3.30, a 94% profit. The simulated probability of the option reaching its target price is 20%.

-- Buying put options is an ideal way to "insure" your stocks and

mutual funds. A put option profits when the stock price

declines, so during periods of market weakness most put

options increase in value. This in turn should help offset

losses you might take with your stocks and mutual funds.
