<<< Patrick you said that you didn't have all the facts so you can't really give advice
well I have to admit I wasn't being exactly truthful about the number of options I
bought. I was embarrased by how risky I was being by buying the number that I did
and didn't want to say >>>>>>>

ROFLMAO

not at you
but at the fact that more than one person on this thread has been in that situation...

welcome to options anonymous and I have a therapy couch just for you ...we know your pain ;-)

DONT BE EMBARASSED.......besides none of us know who you are anyway...LOL

what a turnaround in the futures....

will be an interesting day

we have seen big drops in Globex..turnaround in the morning..only to tank like a rock later...be careful..

to answer your question about the horizontal time spread

you sell one month against the month you have..same strike

this is a covered spread

and allows you to play the fluctuation of let's say the AUG call..while holding your sept...

From Ike on Idea thread:
Today, I would expect the market to be very volatile. I wish I could say that there will
be a 500 point drop in Dow; looking at the charts now I can always follow the market
and talk about huge bearish approach, but this is not what my indicators tell me.
Consistency is one thing which my model maintains and it is only the macro-economic
conditions of the US - if they start changing and bonds start telling me something else, I
will have a different view. With Treasury now settling at 5.51, equity markets and dollar
assets can only be helped. Even if there is a huge fluctuation, I will be long at supports
like 1030, or even lower at 1018 (if it ever comes to that which I doubt). This kind of
extreme pessimism can result into wild fluctuations but these are unsustainable.
