Just to lay my cards on the table - I'm short htch apm spyders oex 510 and 515 calls 1 S&P @1046.80 (sob!) long oex march 495 and 500 puts. covered a short msft for a small loss this a.m. That hedges about 75% of my stock portfolio. In addition, cash is about 66% of the stocks, not counting the cash from the shorts. I also am long California real estate, in case anybody needs a house in the wine country, or a super lot with fantastic views of the Pacific Ocean. (But that's another story, unfortunately.) Still looking for shorts, and PX's candidates will be fun to research this weekend. Today was a good example (for me) of how demanding this game can be. If I'm holding the S&P contract as a trade, I should have sold after the first half hour; if it's a hedge, hold til the last margin call. Very tension-making. I'm not good at handling split personalities. Lawrence, you'd really sell puts in this market?
