marginmike, what have you been doing, hanging out in the bears den. ggg

If you recall, early in our discussion when I came out of hibernation I mentioned NDX could trade as low as NDX 2,620 intraday in worst case scenario - And yes, I have been mentioning quite frequently the complacency of the Bulls - you can see it on the infrequent guerrilla rally and the money movemment in Rydex Long/Short funds still not near the fear levels yet. Need arktos above 200 million (now at 136 million)

And you are right -the conviction is not there yet- No Liquidity.

With BKX in trouble now BKX 750, I think if BKX closes below BKX 734 an assault on DOW 10,000 is again in the cards. Worst case scenario, DOW 9,200 and then the bounce.

I still like this post FOMC May- June rally but a hard shake-out would make it more compelling.

Best Regards, J.T.

MMike-

I share your concerns about a dive. I am about 50% cash right now.
I'm curious about your opinion. I have some GLW covered w/ May 200's. The premium to buy them back would be about $4/ea. In your opinion, would it be better to buy them back now and close out my GLW position or...sit tight and wait for all this to blow over.

I understand this is your "opinion"...<g>

TIA-
Darin

When you refer to illiquidity are you just talking about the light volume & big swings on light volume (low demand/supply) or is there more you could expand on in terms of signs and causes?

Thanks.
