Thank you both, P & AA! I am obviously far, far from being a trader. It's a really rough transition I think for people like me. Because of the fear! I think I'll sell my Aprs and Mays. Will not blame you gracious people who share with us here. One way or the other. <g> bia

I know that puts have been working very well. You've got profits, nice ones. TAKE THEM! Poet, it depends on your conviction and what you're willing to risk. As I pm'd you on last Thursday night, I thought Friday was going to be the big one. I had loaded up on Weds [only with small cash, but on way out of the money poots]. It didn't develop like I thought it would. On Friday at noon I posted I thought we'd have a good chance at 1699.xx when we were at about 1810, but it took a few days longer than I thought. When I take the macro picture and compress it into a micro picture where 1 day equals 1 hour, everything is on schedule. I expect things to happen NOW, but they never do. I've pulled enough off the table that I'm "willing" to lose the rest of my poots, I mean this meltdown is what I was betting on anyways. Pretty sure I'll lose Internet access at noon tomorrow (job thingy). Won't bother working something out for Friday. I'm letting it ride. It takes my own stupidity out of the game. It's like closing your eyes and putting a bet down on boxcars. Maybe you hit a pairs of 6's or crap out. That's all this is to me, Cuz no one really knows where this casino is headed next.......
