Hi Rambi, Oh do I know what you mean. I have done that same thing so many times it's not funny. It's so easy to get cocky after a good trade and immediately want to reposition. And almost always (for me) the second trade is a loss. I'm trying to trade less and hold the position longer, keeping a number in my head for an acceptable weekly profit. If I make that number by Tuesday or Wedneday, I'm trying to make that the last trade of the week. You did well on the SPX put trade. I'm envious. It was between the OEX and the SOX for me this morning, and I chose to buy the May 450 puts on the SOX. They're so pricey that I couldn't buy anything else. The only problem you have now is that there's no excuse not to put on the babushka and clean. Argh. -g
