Claude; may be some confusion; as Prophet keeps asking me about cyrx and I respond, no I'm not out of my Jan AOL puts..they stay. SPX really trades as SPW, IMO too late to buy puts on her calls would be better, heck I just sold my puts on her. That's history she has come down from about 70, and IMO is oversold at this time, ( compared to the infaleted market ) One more thing just because the market is inflated doesn't mean it wont, or can't inflate more, however the tax gain reductions may cause some sell off, yet that's hard to call, as many big money boys were expecting it to clear, and they locked in profits by selling short, so a lot of the short interest is from thoes locking in profits, selling aginst the box to put off the taxes untill the cap gains was final, that short interest will likley prevent any big sell off. Worse hit will be the muni bonds and the old retired people who invest in them, as they will lose value..who wants a low interest tax free bond, is the tax is cut on the other ones. This cap gaines tax cut just riped off one set of people to reward another, GreenSpam belongs to the camp of the radical right, or ( rich )..this was all legal, but in my mind it was still criminal, a change like that should have been phased in , and with advanced notice. Making it retro active was the most criminal part of it. It's hell when our top men behave with lower sruples than a pick pocket, and do it in a high handed way, we live in a system were justice is for sale to the highest bidder, and who ever has the most money can always be right, the dollar has become GOD, at least for the GreenSpam people of the world.
