I think you can use puts on DSL & FED as long as you are using them in conjunction with the trading ranges...

buy long dated puts at anything over $70 and sell around 62-65

just as important as the subprimes resetting is tightening up of lending standards, requiring actual downpayments, documenting of income.....this has the effect of drying up the pool of potential buyers just when inventory could begin to swell further as the resets force homeowners onto the market

slowmo trainwreck indeed

Freddie to buy $20 billion in subprimes....methinks this will be the conduit for the bailout...it's just a wee bit outside of the federally mandated charter for them, but when yer billionaire constituents are drowning, hey, throw 'em a line!<NFG>
