Phew! I traded all day too. I took profits on QQQ puts in the morning, then tentatively reloaded the puts in the early afternoon and straddled with ITM calls (the Mar40's). I dumped the puts and bought an NDX call when I saw we were ramping. Hey, no one sez it's easy daytrading options!

Well I had a mixed bag. Unloaded my DOW puts right near the bottom. Butt..... Once again I got stuck in IBM letting big profits turn to dust. Back at 106 where I bought them. Sigh. I expected that gap to close at 95. Crap! It will close but I would have been whistling dixie to have cashed out at 98 and reloaded at 105 or so. KSS and COST puts did. great. Closed out 1/2 my COLT puts in the rally panic. Oh well, made 50% on them but could have done better at the lod. Retail looks weak as it did not rally with the rest of the garbage. Still holding KSS COST KREM (cashed out ANF, correctly when the rally started, will reload at 30). M
