Yes, but if the underlying is volatile, the intraday swings should be considered when an order is made, assuming of course one follows the underlying sufficient enough to get an idea of its extremes. It sure has helped me at times. I'd place the order which sometimes would be way out of line with the bid/ask but it would eventually hit on an intraday swing. Good luck! RR

Soros's Biggest Hedge Fund is 90% in cash.... Message 13736829 Wow, if everyone took that much off the table we would have quite a market <G>....I'll tell you its 'The Houses' that are making out like bandits in this time of IRRATIONAL fear and uncertainty....What do you think it cost Soros to sell his billions of dollars of tech stocks? Well not much personally BUT the transaction costs are high since the big Funds tend to use the large investment houses to execute their trades....The problem is when a player as large as Soros wants to go 90% in cash with his BIGGEST fund, the market gets impacted and there is clearly a ripple effect. What would happen if Fidelity and Janus decided to have their Mega Funds go to 90% in cash? We would have quite a sell-off...Boy it sure is a shame that folks are paying attention to valuations again...It was A LOT more fun when they were ignored <VBG>... Sorry to go on and on....Yet, its frustrating to see one of the largest and most established Hedge Funds just give up on the market for now and raise billions in cash....I have never been a 'market timer' and will continue to stay fully invested and maintain a LONG TERM focus with my investing. I'm back to lurqing...;-) Best Regards, Scott
