I am sitting here trying to find something worth trading that looks like it is bottoming and these charts (weekly) look very rough.

Monty,

You know I am definitely one of the biggest bears you'll run into these days, but I am also looking at opening some longs. More as a hedge to my big short/put exposure than anything else. One we played before in the hundreds is starting to look like it might be at a bottom to me, INKT. It's down over 90% off its highs and the funnymentals haven't changed much. At $25 per share, it may still be high priced, but at under a $3 billion cap it is definitely more realistically priced than any time recently.

I was thinking of going long at $25 and selling the July $25 call on the position for $9. For each 100 shares, this means putting up $1600 after the call is sold. I'm willing to take my chances that it stays above $16 and hopefully above $25. Should it stay above $25, that will represent over a 50% gain for 8 months which ain't bad IMO. If it drops below $16, well, let's just say I'll probably be retiring early from my poot exposure. -ggg-
