Don - I'm sorry, I guess sometimes my strange sense of humor doesn't communicate well in posts.

I really appreciate your work and know that you are very careful and precise, at the same time recognizing that you are describing probabilistic events which resist definitive prognostication.

I also think I have been spending too much time staring at data feeds.

I am always struck by the way a rally gets started and snowballs, with everyone trying to get in as early as possible.

I had the thought, which I thought was funny, of everyone sensing that a rally was starting and rushing to be the first one to short it. I guess some of the humor is based on the number of times when I waited until I was sure that a stock could go no higher before shorting it, only to find that amazing things are possible in this mania.

My comment was more oriented to those of us who are not quite as disciplined in their trading as you are, and still tend to go with the gut every once in a while.<gg>

I do appreciate your thoughtful response, as well as the sense of responsibility with which you provide the information you do.

Donald,

Am i crasy ? Since a few weeks, i'm really tempted to buy a bunch of nov-60 puts on GE. I'm quite amazed at it since GE is near his top and the market is going to the toilet.

What do you think of GE ?
