Mish, looking at the charts, the Dow appears to have a strong falling resistance line at 9960 tomorrow. That is dropping. There is also the 200-day EMA at 9984. I guess what I'm saying is that the Dow may make an assault on the 10,000 level, but it should come up short.

9900 sounds decent to me, Mish, as I've got March DJX puts bought today just a shade under that. I'm not concerned. Even if I miss the top, I'm still in good shape for a nice H&S result at 9300.

Playing DJX right now because it seems to have a better return over the next couple of weeks. I hate that index, as I believe it arbitrary and serves very little purpose in this century.

Mish -- it's not an anomoly about there being less open interest in the 97 and 99 Dow puts vs. the 96, 98 and 100. It's just that the odd number strikes start trading later. Say what? Well. . .

If you look at March DJX options right now, you'll note that there's 96, 98, and 100s for sale right now, but no 97 and 99s. So the existing strike prices build up in sales while the others wait to come into play (after Feb expires, I think).

Hope that helps,
