heinz: re: "the tech stocks, they are always the last sector to break in a rising rate environment...but when they do break, it is usually rather spectacular."

Yes, that was my take on past patterns.

If you constantly trade in and out of them (various index puts/calls), how do you make money? Even if you guess right about market direction, doesn't the spread eat up most of your gains, unless the move in the underlying is at least 10%?
