The next administration will probably have a special 90% tax on profits from puts on financial companies. Or maybe just a 90% tax on put profits period. Anyway, I couldn't hold out any longer and cashed in my MS puts. Was planning to spend it on BPZ and IOC, but they had one of those last hour runs up. I always get caught by those darn afternoon recoveries.

>>>don't forget we will have a socialist govt next year, so taxes will be much higher.<<< McCain keeps pitching an increase in the cap losses deduction from $3K to $15K for 2008 and 2009. Sounds good to me. He is shouting into a hurricane. I somehow don't think that BHO will be interested. I still hold out hope for my Canadian oil companies. BHO will raid the treasuries of Exxon and the like, but I don't think he can molest the Canuks. Remember, Canada is the US' single largest supplier. While the FED can print money, it can't print oil. Exxon to reorganize in Calgary???
