what do you think of the sep 05 strike 96 calls?
They are 24 points ITM and you can probably get them for 31 points.

If disaster strikes you have a known loss but would be paying about 7 points for that protection but you could also leverage up a bit more.

Simple, just 'Sell in May and go away'. Bad things always happen between May and October except the third year of the election cycle. By then we might be starting to discount a recession with the yield curve as flat as the first half of 2000. Still up to 2 months left for upside to builders and financials though we all know in 2000 the top for the hottest sector of that time was mid March.
