I have sharply reduced puts on AIG and MBI - they are important enough to the financial structure that some banks, bond holders, and or government will parachute in some adult supervision, just like was done putting Warren Buffet on the board of Salamon Brothers and kicking John Gutfreind out.

Also see new teams and Fannie, Freddie, Tyco, etc.

Some Wall Street guy said if AIG gets a new adult CEO, that should be worth about 10 points for the stock. Also, AIG should have dropped under 50 by now...

Today's report; sold my denim stock TRLG @ 14.25 paid 10.70? ...As a stock picker I still love the stock but raising cash in an uncertain mkt. Cash position is about 55% and actual dollar wise is the highest I ever had...Egad!

<<Sure Bet>>

The very words make me cringe....maybe I'll join you with some puts when it gets to 300. 8^)
