BGR, I visited Humble several times. <g>

Your suggestion on the QQQ/DJX paired trade misses the entire idea of the 90/10. I bet a little to win a lot. By shorting puts on the most speculative critter in the world, you are betting a lot to gain a little. Shorting any option is a loser's game from day one. Lots of small wins followed by bankruptcy. <g>

I have been wrong often on the prices of stocks and indices during this scamarama bull market and even during previous markets. I have even been wrong on the business fundamentals a few times, though I swear I can't remember the last time. Fortunately, I get paid so much when I am right that a few hiccups don't mean nuttin'.

But, instead of ragging me, go pound Mark McGwire for all of his strikeouts. Those who prefer to be hit by the pitch to get on base will never understand the homerun swing and the baggage that goes with it. <g>
