Hi Tim.. all

Took an ill trading garden break late in the day. Some puts were in the money on biotechs and I figured the exercise would be good to get out of the office and pull a tree stump and some vines. When I got back in the puts were under water, the market closed and the underlying stocks up in aftermarket.

There must be a saying that goes with this negligence.. something like:

* Never switch gardens miday.

* Till the soil only after closing the till drawer.

* Close positions before pulling roots.

* No vine before its time.

* Mad dogs and puts go out in the noon day sun.

Lesson learned..
