It's going up from here. BTW if you are bearish on NASDAQ, you ought to be long RMBS. The two go in opposite directions approximately 80% of the time. Look at the data. ... um, you are bearish on NASDAQ, right? <<Not well, not terrible. I paid 23 for the May 95's, and they're 20 1/8 bid. >>

>I paid 23 for the May 95's, William, it's smart of you to go out that far, but why not buy leap put's? I assume if you liked Amzn leap calls and where prepared to pay the extra premium, you'd love put leaps. Ps Have you noticed hardly anyone around here won't talk about Amzn anymore? Does this mean this will become a dead thread? btw I think we won't take the hit for at least another month. wired.com

Bill, When you posted you bought puts on CSCO, I was actually planning to long 50 LEAPS of CSCO in anticipation of the split. You messed up my brain waves big time !!! For all those who think it has moved too much too fast, I'd like to point out that for the first 6 months of 99, it was actually standing still....and over the last 12 months it has doubled - something which it does almost every year....so it really hasn't behaved out of character in any way...!!! I'm curious....What made you buy CSCO puts in particular - esp since it doesn't move much in either direction over ST, so any profits would IMO not be worth your risk !!!
