I personally wouldn't buy puts yet since premium erosion is fast

Your not kidding.... I would suggest that anyone playing the options more than a couple of week out go and look at the charts for all the OEX options that just expired (Sept). In almost ever case anyone that bought PUTS or CALLS at any strike price LOST money if they held to Sept 15.... even if they didn't hold you have to be amazing with your timing to beat the guys putting the premiums on the options.

By the way Lee... that was a nice call on the Max Pain area..

Best Regards
KEITH

Lee,

I get the sense this year that more people are trying to get out early before the Oct silly season. I see 720 has alot of overhead resistance, to much for this markets volume to overcome IMO.
