Thanks for the response and I agree with your concerns with today's market. I don't know if this makes sense to you or not, but is it possible to estimate your downside exposure? Can 1 month wipe out a year worth of profits? For example, if the Dow took a 1000 point dive in a day and your underlying stocks also changed by an equal percent. All of your puts of course would shoot up by some much greater percentage. Taking a snapshot of our portfolio today or some point in time what percentage or how many months of profit do you think would you lose?
