can't disagree -- much -- sitting on some BAC august puts -- probably go up in smoke -- don't regret it -- will reload if rates continue backing up and the shares move up or stay flat.

Where I differ is here: it doesn't take a derivative accident to hurt the earnings of financials -- fast swings in rates are enough -- anyway, it's about perceptions of futures earnings at some pt.

A continued rise in rates makes them a decent speculation.

But you didn't mention the mortgage bankers -- I've had a couple of profitable trades there already -- CFC.

Does it make sense to you that these would lead the banks a bit? -- I can rationalize it, at least.
