You cannot imagine how close I am to exploding right now.....I had a compleat answer pertaining to these VIX questions and this subject and Frankly, I do not care to re-type everything. I had typed quite a bit with respect to your post and stuff about VIX and so forth. I hate discussing VIX. It's just lovely to have a computer go down....particularly when issues like this VIX stuff.......well, been avoiding the questions only because they have been discussed for two years, between here and TSO anyway. Might as well discuss Premium or TIKI. Nothing personal, I just don't wish to go over it....and over it....and over it. Cannot blame the people who are asking now...just ain't going to type it a third or fourth gawdam time. But come on, some of these VIX questions are elementary....there actually was a question here concerning why VIX would go up if the market was going up. Makes my head explode. In any event I don't pay that much attention to VIX anymore, either you know it or you don't. I really did have something of value to say....but at this point, having been fouled over by a computer going down, I cannot recall the entire story. Sorry, Chip. Once I have typed everything out and the machine craps out my resolution to type it all again is rather thin. Essentially it comes down to Money Management. This is with respect to your observation with regard to Keeping your Money. If the Position is running your way, well fine.....if it is not; Bail out. That's the advice from the cheap seats. Jeez, I hate it when computers fry.....
