Provoking thoughts, but I cannot take much time to think about various issues, such as May options. As we've touched on in the past, there is always the "usually" safe play of legging into credit butterflys, but it seems most want the "big hit" that comes from a rare event such as holding puts during a market meltdown.

I've done that on occasion, it's like heroin. Each time the market dips it clouds rational thought to a degree with respect to exit points.

Anyway, as I say I have to run. But the possible trigger could be the greenback, as Japan was selling it overnight and it dropped 3 Yen. A weak dollar may have short term bearish complications for US Markets.

----I hope the Barron's writers aren't reading this. I hate when they quote me and don't give me credit.
