Tom - I've been on the dark side lately via puts and outright shorts. Hopped the fence here today and playing from the long side - btw can you believe a covered call on EXTR @55 strike is paying 9 5/8 (17.5% per month - beats a CD rate, eh?). What a ride this year has been - quite unlike the QCOM rocket ride we were enjoying last year. Best to you, JF3 - enjoying my MCD calls P.S. Cramer reports that Goldman downgraded Santa today

Like I said, the bottom is pretty well in for the next six months and we begin up with the Fed tomorrow. Oh please keep telling me things like this. I need to hear it. Enquiring minds wanna hear it! I'm running out of pepto bismol. Seriously... I don't know the markets like you guys seem to. But I do think it's good that we now have a President who is addressing the economy. I'm no expert. But the last time I remember a President doing anything about the economy is GB Sr. And it worked...Boy, did it work! BirdDog
