Greg, good point .. but the _on topic_ portion is "I also bought the CSCO 20 Put just before closing Monday". Same difference .. DIA or CSCO .. IMO. My too-subtle implicit point was you were boasting without first forecasting. But why even forecast? Without money on the line, there's no risk to your pocketbook. Even when you have money on the line, in an anonymous environment such as SI, no one knows that for sure. The only risk in forecasting prices is personal credibility, and that's not worth much here .. considering the anonymity. Worth some .. but not much. But enjoy your profits, please. JMO, Ron
