Most ppl realize we're in a stock market bubble. Visit the MDA thread and read the last many month's worth of posts. The problem has been of course, that if the stock market is going up anyway in spite of the bubble, then who wants to be on the wrong side with puts or shorts. It's nice to see someone like Milton Friedman come out and say that the emperor has no clothes. I have also seen many web sites comparing the stock charts of 1929, 1987, and 1999, although the url you posted a couple days ago was the most visually striking. BTW, SPX futures are off 8.5 pts. We have to worry that the Fed will for sure raise another 1/4. And then there is the Friday's econ rpt.

Well guys, after careful consideration I think my AMZN calls were a massive waste of money. The markets are tanking, and the crash is nearly upon us. Friday's employment number will be the final nail in the coffin for this bull market. I plan to dump all my calls at the open, hopefully before the hordes can figure out the new ticker symbols for the option chain. Plan on adding to my YHOO puts at the open- already have a market order in place so i'll be in the front of the line at schwab.. (yes, they perform orders sequentially in the order they are received, so it makes sense to place orders as soon as possible. you can always cancel them at the last minute if you need to)

KIS,re:"BUBBLE". It's not bubble. The 'thing' just get bigger and bigger and bigger.. With the Fed/Gov obliged to keep people happy, more money will be printed. Nobel prize winner is nothing in this SPORT (or investing as it used to be called). It's how fast you can money and get out or lock in. Those guys(CEOs, CFOs, UFOs) have locked in. Knowing the 'finanical industry' 'EARNED' money based on 'daily asset price', the last 5/10 minutes usually have BIG jump as it should. This new sport is not for me. I'll just do 50%cash/50%stock-fund and watch the sport from the sideline. It's boring but life is too tough for me before this game takes off. You guys/gals are GOOD. Good luck.
