SB, The facts in my case includes my put purchase as insurance, which allowed me to retain my S&P500 gains at their peak level. I was not so fortunate with QQQ puts, hence my overall loss from the peak of my portfolio. Now, both you and Simba either overlook this fact, or claim that I am lying, or claim that buying puts as insurance is a super-duper speculative act which invalidates my whole strategy. This leads me to believe that while you guys perhaps do not hate my guts (or perhaps you do :-)), you are not quite unbiased either. In particular, I do not think that you are looking for good ideas; you just want a pat in the back. OK, you have one; your market timing in biotech makes you a demigod in my eyes. Go in peace, brother. :-) -BGR.
