Well, the Philadelphia exchange specialist would not let me sell the puts. I put in a limit order to sel them at 16 at the high (not midway) when AFFX was at 301. It has gone down to 295 and they would not fill the order. Finally I called Fidelity and canceled it; the cancellation came thru immediately. Just to be annoying, I put in a limit order to sell them at 18. I think AFFX is on its volatile swing down, but in any case... I hate it when they won't participate. So I guess this is just my way of thumbing my nose at the specialist, who probably won't give me 18 even if AFFX retraces to 100!!!!
