What leaps did you buy? I just talked to Fido and the spread was 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 at that moment for selling Sept 160s in a fast market so for the helluva it I put in a limit order for 3 1/4 (don't ask why--I couldn't analyze, except I figured I could probably have even gotten 3 1/2 if it keeps swinging like mad).

There was an OT comment on Q over on RMBS thread that might be apposite--that fund managers and MM were pushing Q up for window dressing, and meant to dump today, and this "cautionary" news from Everen was the perfect "no news news" to dump. Of course, sometimes analysts are right on (remember Niles--Dell thread--everybody hated him, he was on the money), still I'd think of it as buying opp or put selling op right now
