Paul...wow....a couple months ago I mused ....what would happen if market would either (1) crash a day or two BEFORE a Fed meeting or (2) a couple days AFTER....how could Greenspan intervene WITHOUT looking like he's targeting markets? He may be put in that pickle real soon..tic.o over -1100

I was amazed this morning when I opened the option chain on teh QQQ and saw how many had bought calls yesterday. Had I known that, I definitely would have gone the other way. Everyone was buying long yesterday. Maximum Pain has to be down here around 41 and if they are buying again today, it could be lower. The regular Max Pain Sites use all options, I mainly focus on teh ones that are within about 10 strikes and I get different numbers. The only green stocks on my watch list are MSFT, PMCS, QLGC, and SEBL and they aren't up much. Almost everything else is down 4% or more. Geesh, How long have we been short RMBS and now it finally breaks down when I am out of puts. #$&^(*)^^$#^!!!!! Good Luck, Lee

I don't know about p/c ratio but the new highs are 12 and new lows still under 200. I believe this is got to be very close to the bottom as we are grossly oversold. I would like to by some JNPR,SEBL but feeling very shy here< VBG>.

Paul, I have a question re- the reported(a few days ago) hedge funds "asset allocations"... Cash - 20% (from 9% previously) Long - 45% Short - 35% (net 10% long VS net 44% long previously) Those are "very active" trading portfolios?? yes? If the current main players are hedge funds/semi-professional day traders....then, what's our(most of us on this thread) competitive advantages during this possible "consolidation period"? Thanks advance for your comments.
