Well, I took a look at my put portfolio, and while I no doubt lost
value today, I haven't been doing terribly badly lately:

Symbol Bot -- Today's Bid -- Quantity
GTWXF 2.25 -- 2.625 -- 20
WLAMG 3.375 -- 6.000 -- 20
HLOA 0.500 - 0.500 -- 70 (Okay, technically this is a call.)
LLQWJ 0.4375 -- .125 -- 20
XIQWK 1.000 -- .0625 -- 15
VQTMF 1.000 -- 0.500 -- 10

This gives me a total profit, after spread, but before commisions
of $3468.75 on open BK type options contracts. My BK options
have been doing rather well lately, I can't recall the last one
that closed at a loss, its been at least a month or two. It must
have been SOX puts that expired worthless.

And overall, today was an excellent day, counting that pile of
unvested in the money options I'm a slave to. (up $17,000)

So don't waste too much tears on my part. :)
