ST-Trading AD, It's also interesting that NVLS is down >9% today but AMAT is hovering around 6-6.5%. The SOX is down 8.3% now. Were AMAT to sell off at the end of the day to the 9% level we will be at 44.5 ish. I think that is possible today (it being a Friday a huge run up is unlikely, but not impossible). What do you think? -SD

ST trading: Sold my NVLS puts with the stock at 49.4. Held 3 weeks, made 16%. That was my last put/short, so I am now all long. Doubled up on EMC at 22.4; tried to buy more NTAP LEAPS, haven't quite got my price yet. At these prices and below, I will only add long positions. I may reload on NVLS puts if it hits 56 again. However, the spread on them is too big. And NVLS is showing a lot of relative strength, compared to the other semi-equips. So, I'll probably choose a different stock, to short, on the next rally. Any suggestions?
