*OT* RE: Triple top

The Nasdaq 100 is currently challenging a "triple-top" resistance, thanks to the leadership in large cap tech stocks like DELL. I will watch closely to see whether it succeeds in breaking through resistance around the 1415 area (now at 1412).

I have accumulated a small position in Nov1360 puts at an average price of $34 (now $20). My stop is at $17, which may be reached if the triple top breaks. Otherwise, I think I have a decent chance of recouping my losses (or even making a profit).

Cracks are starting to appear in the semi-cap sector; AMAT, KLAC, and LRCX have all exhibited bearish reversal signals (doji tops, black candlesticks, and downside gaps) on downgrades by Morgan Stanley.

AMAT, the bellweather, peaked on Friday at levels 67% above its recent lows only three weeks ago. This rate of ascent simply can't last forever. Today, I shorted December out-of-the-money calls for KLAC and LRCX because I believe that it will be very difficult for these stocks to rally to the strike prices of $40 and $17-1/2, respectively.
