The VIX closed at 31.88. This is a very good indication that the bottom is near.

I usually lurk on several threads on SI and listen and learn from all you more knowledgeable people. I think I finally understand Voltaires CC strategy for INCOME but not a strategy for growth I think. Mr Reagan I agree with your thoughts regarding selling PUTS if this is near a market bottom as I suspect it is - for example Aug 45 PUTS for Gemstar GMST were paying 9 5/8 and Aug 50s were worth 12 - 13. For some one who is willing to buy gmst ( some on the G&K thread think gmst is a gorilla ) this looks like a very nice way to do it. A May 50 PUT for MFNX Metromedia Fibre Networks (Closed to day at 56 5/8) is paying around 5 - again selling puts for strong stocks at a market bottom can be a nice way to buy stocks even cheaper than the market prices. I spent today closing covered call sales I made late last year and kept some stocks that I thought would be called - I am going to look for more potential PUT sales tomorrow. Polvie - I agreee - Robert Earl Keene rocks - I really like the Armadillo Jackal on the No Kind of Dancer albumn.... Joe-Hunter Free Jim Willie NOW!!!
