Pal, Can we agree that, while these threads are public places in cyberspace, there are unspoken social rules in each of them? For instance, it's important to you that options, and options only be discussed here. For me and Jill, it's important that our threadmates treat each other respectfully and not engage in personal attacks. My view is that since Jill and I started, and run this thread as we see fit, those people who are not willing to discuss options, engage in a little personal banter, and do so respectfully can find other places to post. And finally, I'm very disappointed by ed's, and now your, bringing into a public forum issues that are of a personal and private nature between ed and Jill. Mother hen or not, I would have expected better.

I appreciate your concern; I was not in deep trouble in the market meltdown. I think PMs should stay PM and won't start trading PM interpretations; discretion is the better part of PM, to quote a cliche. However, I was really in a panic that weekend (as I posted both PM and public) that I would be in deep trouble if predictions such as those on MDD thread came true (2700 or 2200 NAZ). I did get burned on April puts, in CNXT and GBLX. I had to buy them back at a loss. It made me realize I don't want to even THINK I'm that vulnerable. I put a good portion of my portfolio in cash, to stay in cash. As for the rest, I voiced an opinion on my preference--no orders, no SI jail. I come to SI for information, I do my best on this thread as like Poet I feel responsible to it for some extent, and if it gets too nasty, I'll say so, and that's about it. I tried my best yesterday, too.
