MCCC seems like a tough play with puts as i don't expect them to go to zero for a while still and then you have the extra cost of the options spread...i was able to short them at ameritrade a while back and then i box them at times by buying shares at brown, for whatever reason ameritrade seems to be more reliable for getting shares of almost anything i want to short and they actually seem to get me better fills on shorts than brown does with MCCC trying to put in a hammer today it looks to me like it wants to try to move back to the low 6's, at that point i will probably unbox it again unless the market tries to make a more substantial rally than a day or two, i will also unbox it if it breaks today's low or if a shorter term chart breaks down since just like i want to be net long on stocks i think are eventually going higher, i want to be net short on things like MCCC that are likely in trouble long term carl

well MCCC failed at 5.80 and broke its nice intraday pattern and so i unboxed it again at 5.72, only made 20 cents on the scalp but it's better than nothing <g> i have to go run an errand for our business anyway so i'd just as soon take the quick gain and run carl

nice move for RCII today despite that "HOLD SHORT" <g> long way to go for my 8 points that i got last time but at least now i can put in a stop which guarantees i will make at least a small profit (barring a gap down of course) ISLE also continues up nicely, i'm only a bag holder on a few of my shares now as the rest are in the green...lol market looks like it is serious about a month end rally, probably not much more than that until we get out of warnings season but at least it's something carl
