thats what I thought too, maybe a little more downside maybe not. I have been having a great time selling options on stocks I already own ( from the go go days ) when the market goes up and buying them back when the market comes down. I bot back yesterday late. I love options!!! This has netted me $ every week and has allowed me to turn huge losses into very nice profits. Im thinking of changing my name to option/girl48 what you think?? Okay, what about option/girl49????

rewhat a nice closing to buy
Not.
I've lost all my gains from the last months in two days.
Now I can see there is no point holding stocks at all. We are in a VICIOUS bear and may not come out of it for a long time.
Oh well.
