EMC's coming split should help buoy it a bit in June. I sold the June 105's before the announcement and feel pretty good about them in light of all the bad news out there.

tom....i couldn't agree more with you... that is why i made the comment that individual technicals will be overpowered by market movement, both upside and downside.... being extremely cautious, only looking at strikes 15-20% below current market price, and with premiums 3%+ for june, also placing orders for smaller blocks, and on stocks i have the desire to own..... economy is slowing, regardless of what the government states....balance of trade is a bs number, means not a thing.......the fed is becoming a real problem....can wreak havoc as they have in the past....every recession that i recall has been fed induced...as goes the fed, so goes the market... ed a. p.s....didn't get the order filled...
