Hi Bonnie, Our prayer vigil over the candles may be answered today, from the looks of the futures now. I bought some QQQ calls primarily because it's options expiry week and the bias should be up. If we get enough strength this week to allow me to scalp $1000 from this trade, I'll take profits. I worry about next week, when the market only has the hope for another rate cut to hold it up. I'm very skittish, though. Bonnie you've been much more disciplined about holding options than I recently.

Collected on both have of my KREM march straddle today. Bought mar 75 puts and mar 75 calls the other day when it was at 77. Closed the calls when it hit 79 and I thought the puts were toast. but ............Yee Haa..... Closed them too early I needed to hold for just a bit but had a 100% gain and I took it. Would be a 250% gain on those puts if I held. Also have some May 75 puts as well. After having my may 70's go deep underwater, I am looking good now. We have a 13 DMA crossing over 50 DMA to the downside on KSS and FNM today. On that sell signal I bought puts on both. Could not resist buying puts on FD as well. Closed most of my calls on this mornings bounce. M M
