I was being 'cocky' I know that now. Ironically I did well all through the down market in the last few weeks, even making good trades in the worst of circumstances (while trolling for fish, and going out of bounds)..only to 'screw up' in the best market in the last few weeks. But I never do margin and "only" had 10 OEX and YHOO puts.
I wasn't hedging I was 'gambling'. The puts were easy money in the last few weeks, so I thought I could 'do it again'. Also had a good vibes on CC but didn't act on it. Can't even use the excuse of being high on dramamine.

I've been wrong a lot but I held through the over-pessimistic madness and am glad I did. Now looking at tanked bargains which haven't popped back yet. Like BEBE, DCTI, SDTI especially. PFE still a good long-termer esp with split coming up in two weeks. WHEW!

PS - Just pissed I sold my ORCL last month after those "warnings of lower earnings". F whoever put that report out. I had 900 shares.
