per strandberg re O'Toole's Law: Murphy is too optimistic... O'Toole must of been a highly experienced person. He is right of course where things go wrong. Although you might have planned for just one thing to go wrong at once, that is rarely the case. And some of those first order interactions can be real doozies <BG> I wonder what full value (love that expression -g-) stocks are going to get bought today? Been looking at the "max pain" on January options on some stocks. Some say the figures are not accurate but is easy enough to calculate them yourself with a spread sheet using the open interest numbers (unless those are fiddled?) I get iqauto.com AMCC $50. Not buying puts on those... >$6 for out the money? Not for me. GE $45. IBM $100. (unusual, anyone expecting a tech rally?) HON $40. FNM $65. MRK $75. If anyone thinks I got the horse and cart backwards here, please feel free to point it out. I like some of those figures though. regards, pearly.
