if the market rallies toward the end of the session, I will go short heavily at the close. This is just a dead cat bounce in any means. The higher it rallies, the better I will feel later. AOL is really kind to me lately, and today is no exception. Covered 2k at 78, longed 3 k at 77. Sold at 84. Bought 15 contracts of Aug. 80 puts at 3 1/2, sold at 5. Bought back at 3 7/8, waiting for a little crash at the end. Wrote open 15 Jan. 75 puts between 11 1/2 and 12 1/2. Also traded CSCO and MSFT, but the gains not even close to the AOL POS. My only complain is that Q and PCS are both down. What a day! larry
