Hi Timba

Thanks for the clarification to your question. For better or worse, I'm stuck for the time being working only with a very small set of mutual funds that I can choose between. This is probably best for me because I tend to be bearish in my outlook. As of late, that has not been the way to make money<g>.

All of the funds that I can choose between are long stocks only. If I could get into a short fund I would be targeting Tuesday close for my entry into that fund.

If I pay you to sell me your stock in the future, that contract is called a "call." If it expires in the money then you will be forced to deliver the stock to me on the specified date. I'll probably wish to cash out quickly to "take profit." The reason being that I prefer to play options rather than stocks. Your batch of stocks are now looking for a new home ...

There are more calls in the money right now than puts. The specified date is Friday.

And, yes, that would mean that we would be heading lower.

Now then .. it is possible that earnings season will prove to be strong enough to overpower this effect.

FWIW

Gersh
