Well not a bad day considering the roller coaster ride the markets took today. Look for more of the same tomorrow. Charts look very confused...and so am I! Closed yesterday's OEX puts on part of that early downdraft, but there was a lot of profit left on the table. Later positions which I held are at or just under breakeven, thought they were all underwater most of the day. The DJX tanked a bit in AH's trading, so that may bode well for us tomorrow. But look for quick profit taking on my part on the puts. We ended just shy of the 1000% mark. TC

999%: not bad for 1 month's work, eh? Keep in mind that that is not a total account increase...just the return on the average investment...which right now for me is very small. I'm still just trading about $500 to $1k per position, with many less than that. Still, the experiment so far seems to be working! TC
