re holding puts long-term ... hmmmm ... Why do you think that's a mistake, Allan? I'm beginning to view them just as long-term or even LEAP calls as the flip side of a bull market. I realize trading options same or one-month out requires practically instanteous 'reaction' buying and selling. That's precisely what I'd like to avoid. Anyway, appreciate your writing about your trading strategies and style. Re big cap warning .... I'm suspicious that CSCO's bleeds yesterday and today (SUNW, too) are indicative of a really soon pending warning. And what that would mean to me is that I'll make more money holding all my tech puts, obviously, if that were to occur. That's why I consider it critically important today. bia
