"You still holding all those long PUTs for FEB and Mar wishing the market down."

Mainly written off a while back but some now have value again - WEBX, KKD nearly. Others already expired worthless. I let Al make most of my decisions now and most trading is done on NDX futures.

I conceed the put buying episode was a failure. I don't take a postition then wish the market to follow it. I make a decision which way I think the market will go, then take positions accordingly. Options are speculative and not particularly suited to trading due to low liquidity/high spread so cutting losses isn't a very effective way out.

BTW, Y u ask?

"By the way, I am not posting from a broken down Win95 server for your info"

I would hope not. Your Win95 server needs all its resources for other things <vbg>.
