I am glad everyone enjoyed the mistake confession :) Unfortunately, I intend for it to be the last one of such a stupid origin.

Anyone got a better quote for the Nikkei than the one showing -177 @ 8:02 PM? I keep seeing all these "Nikkei down 3%" news. Yours truly added to a JOF position (originally initiated yesterday) just before the close today :( Damn this is fun <g>.

Haim,

I've found that shorting the QQQ is better than buying puts, but to each his own. The only people who make money in options is the sellers, 8 times out of 10. I lost on some AMZN puts this past week but it's of no consequence. When I play options, I expect to lose within 50-70 % of the time.

FWIW,
Chris
