Herm, question - I see more and more people talking about how skiddish the market is and how the indicators are in worse position now than they were this time last year - just before the Aug drop. More and more are saying we are in for a significant correction, and soon. Thinking that this should be a good opportunity, have you given any thought to making up a list of the stocks you feel will take the biggest hits during a correction with the thought of using puts on the way down and calls on the way back up? jb

Enjoyed reading your article Herm,I will follow COMS since it had a narrow band width and see what side it explodes to. The setting of the time frame certainly gives different results,I applied this to LU. If one owned LU, would be a good time to write ccs and buy some cheap puts???
