Gary,
Right now I am feeling like a stunned wounded Bear. At least on IBM.
I still have until January on my IBM Puts, but I have never seen anything like this in 35 years of investing. While I know that "The Street" would like to see IBM continue going up, else possibly kill all the money that is pouring into Mutual Funds, but this irrationality is insane. IBM's quality of Q2 earnings were just terrible.
Jules

Gary,
My strategy was Selling INTC Puts and Buying IBM Puts with the proceeds from the sale. Later, when INTC was up, I bought back the INTC Puts at a much lower price, and held the IBM Puts for very little cost. However later, as IBM's price rose. I had to pay more in order to roll up and further out in time.
