Where is it at? A more general question, Bill ... if this were the start of a larger downdraft than we have seend for quite sometime, how would you expect people to act differently.

I don't think we are ready for a BK, but perhaps a significant tech wreck at this point and as a result I'm not taking the puny doubles and triples that I have on a number of put positions now ...
