Profit taking sure hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be today...

John:
I did 10 ea Feb 01 100 and Jan 02 100 yesterday. I'm going to short additional PUT's as well on DIP's. I calculated that in worst case I'd be picking up RMBS @ 70. Not a hard decision is it? I have only won the blue ribbon, having been PUT'ed stock by MM, for 300 shares so far.

I love reading you shorts and traders. Gosh, the effort it takes to get it right. The pressure, the charts, bars & graphs. All those little indicators & what to make of them. A real science. Shame you can't buy & hold, relax and profit.

re: this is a great opportunity to short historical volatility, particularly the longer-dated puts...

John, very interesting post.

Trying to understand the mechanics.
When you talk of "shorting puts",
do you mean writing puts?
