Hi Tim.. all Took an ill trading garden break late in the day. Some puts were in the money on biotechs and I figured the exercise would be good to get out of the office and pull a tree stump and some vines. When I got back in the puts were under water, the market closed and the underlying stocks up in aftermarket. There must be a saying that goes with this negligence.. something like: * Never switch gardens miday. * Till the soil only after closing the till drawer. * Close positions before pulling roots. * No vine before its time. * Mad dogs and puts go out in the noon day sun. Lesson learned..

The run in the indices has been amazing and surprising to most I think. I don't think there is any long term confidence in the US markets though, the follow article indicates most of the money went into international funds. The inflow indicate increase confidence in stocks in general though, so longer term it look like traders are returning. ********************************* U.S. stock funds take in $2.8 bln in week-AMG NEW YORK, May 30 (Reuters) - U.S. stock mutual funds took in a net $2.8 billion in the week ended May 28, according to AMG Data Services.
