I've been buying puts for the past couple of weeks ... hard to say. Seems like a reasonable place to take another shot. You'll laugh, but I am more fearful of a correction in the energy stocks, that I am the miners. Now there is talk of the fed easing its langauge on keeping rates low for an indeterminate amount of time -- what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means -- NOTHING. Doesn't mean they are going to raise any time soon. And even if they do raise in the 3rd quarter next year, they will get a larger spigot and open it wide. It's like Bush's silly tax cuts while he increases spending so fast you can't keep up ... I look at my index puts as kind of insurance against holding the miners -- if the market continues to run and my puts get crushed, miners will do even better. If the market is fixing to get hammered and miners with them, perhaps I can sell a little below the top and the index puts will make up the difference??
