Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. :) Gottfried, that's one of my favorite military axioms. It reduces anxiety during times of scarce information. Some others: - If your plan is working well, you're about to be ambushed. - Once is Happenstance. Twice is Coincidence. Three times is Hostile Action. - Anything you do can get you killed - especially nothing. - Never take counsel of your fears. (Gen. George S. Patton) - Mitch@drovearoundintanks.mil

I set up an order last night for a dozen ANQOW's (Mar 01 puts @ 47.5) at $1.50; looks like it triggered this morning. MaxPain is nearly equally distributed between 45 and 47.5 for Friday - implying a close between the two. I figure volatility will hand me at least a 50% profit before then. I'm now: LT Long on a substantial "cold, dead fingers" core holding; VST (Mar 01) Short ANQ OJ's; VST (Mar 01) Short ANQ OW's. - Mitch
