Ok, I'm now a dues-paying member of this thread. I'm holding 6 put contracts on the SPX, 3 bought at Monday's open, and since I like pain so much, I bought 3 more today at 11:00am. My goal is to break even on all six. [edit: Or maybe just a tiny profit ;-)] I believe that MSFT will likely be weighing on the SPX on Monday: Following the publication of the ruling late Friday, Microsoft stock fell on electronic trading networks to as low as 86-3/4, down from its regular session close of 91-9/16. per Reuters. 'Course, that could all change by Monday morning. I believe that regardless of its implications, the resultant ruling, expected tho' it was, will be a good excuse to "take profits". Since we've had such an exuberant run-up in the last couple weeks, I think its time the longs got a reality check. Here's hoping they jam the doorway all at once on Monday. clink. My SBUX went up +8% today. Coffee isn't tech, so likely it will not be affected by the tech sale.
