Well.. You are lucky now..But " I am only holding options" you are
holding stocks.So my limit down is known. Is your?

I don't consider holding a Crisco short "lucky". I consider it free easy money.

Downside to my Crisco short? Damn near nothing IMO. I want to be short 2000 shares but the damn thing can't put in a decent enough bounce to let me short another 1500 shares. I'm hoping speculation of it replacing HON in the DOW will do it, but my guess is there's too much smart money that still needs to get out to prevent any decent bounce.

I also only hold options, except my Crisco short. It's about the only stock I have no fear of holding short because it doesn't bounce. MSFT would fit the bill also if it weren't for what a potential breakup or non breakup will do the the stock when the news hits.

You keep buying call options on the way down Tassi, and somebody will exercise the call on your house...make sure you check in with us periodically...we have a service here which may be of interest to you, please speak to Mr. Gander, founder of Rent-A-Ledge for details. I would suggest getting another home equity loan now so you can make a down payment on this fine service before the expected surge in demand our consultants have forecast

LOL... what's so smart about holding incredibly overvalued options that are going to zero??? Good luck... I'll stick with my gameplan... buy the common @ about $4 if I still find value the company when it unwinds like a busted clock in an old Laural and Hardy movie... ie. springs flying all over.
