Bob,

AS I was also searching for a strategy, I bought CMGI Jun 80 straddles (Jun 80 calls and same amount of Jun 80 puts). They were pretty cheap, since it was only 3 days until expiration, but I was fairly confident that the market would move quite a bit, just didn't know which way!

I did the same thing with EGRP this week, but it wasn't nearly the gainer. It was definitely a profitable day for straddles! AOL would have worked really nice too.

I closed out my positions for a healthy profit, but I may do it again tomorrow.

I think we have time to be positioned before Greenspan speaks, don't we?

Mike
