Exactly, I sure hope so! -g- If they can't stop the panic, the
crash will wipe out the options market this week. It seems it
still functions, but barely. Options sellers must be broke.
Without them, there is only bid for poots and no offer. This
kinda increases volatility a whole lot. Implied volatility
per spoos 900 options went to 117 on Friday!!!
What I am trying to say, this expiration is not gonna be
"normal", but I sure hope real buyers who hide in the treasuries
come back and buy spoos. Liquidity conditions in the options
market must be very dire now.

HI GZ,

I'd say once again the your "Balls of Hitler" purchase of the minies on friday was just another perfectly timed trade.

Congrats.
