<The VIX is up. Last reading was 32.14. Over 30 is usually a sign of a bottom. However, it's been my experience watching VIX that it will drop down and then spike up again into the 40 range for these really climactic moves. >

Board... I agree that this is a good time to take some profits and have been doing so. HOWEVER... so far this is not even on par with last fall! The potential here is staggering, I wouldln't get LONG with ANYONES money, especially by selling puts, and personally I won't sell all my index puts with SPX above 1000.
