>> Craig, let's set the record straight I don't have shorts on the banks. <<

I seem to recall you not only shorting banks, but brokers and other financials as well. And puts too. (synthetic short). I even see you were shorting banks back in late May as they bottomed!

Sarmad, sold Bkx calls at 820. Bought Bkx puts at 820. Interest rate fears will now rattle the banks, and the sluts...because the billions they've been making on IPO's is drying up. Morgan Stanley is a great short here.Imhop

MWD closed at 64 on 5/25. 5 trading days later it hit 84. 3 months later it a new high at 110. You said you sold your BKX calls and bought puts @ 820. (of course this was only 1 point off the high for the day and about 25 points off the low. (Your timing is impeccable). Well 5 trading days later the BKX almost hit 900, and today it closed at 929.

Gst, went short LEH at 76, BSC at 55,GS at 110.
Max pain LEH 80. BSC 60. GS 115.

Mark, right now I'm buying puts on the BKX. I also started shorting selective bank stocks. I can remember the time when CitiBank and BofA almost went busto. Both their stocks were trading in single digits. I'm assuming BofA is venerable right now. Btw Bought Morgan Stanley april 90 puts at 11 and change.

So you see HJ, it seems like you have been saying short financials regularly for quite a while now. Let us know when you cover for good and turn bullish.
