I agree - Getting crushed in C puts. ng Had ADVP puts that I bought at 68, strike 65's. Kissed them goodbye on the rise to 80. They were in the money today (strikewise) and I hopped all over it for a small profit after being down 90%. Sure wish I bought those puts near 80. M

tippet what you are not getting is that treasuries are at a very low rate and there is not a lot of upside. There are huge amounts of money in insurance companies and pension funds were the individual does not have a lot to say nor the overseas investor. Dividends are relatively high and there is an unwritten agreement that what happen 10 year ago with banks will not happen again. Aside there are very few banks with the same loan portfolio structure of 1990. further the ability to hedge is far greater than it was in the past. The hedge system must go down before banks will go down and I do not think that this will happen because by then you will not be able to get your money, or be able to buy anything with your paper money.
