TO OT ** I just realized TO is OT spelled backwards :) I also expect volatility to stay around 30 - 50 this year. As for ST trading options: anything but financials. They keep dragging skeletons out of their deep closets. GE included [GMAC]

<<Having the govt backstop the banks should...eventually...help.>>

Not until the banks return the flow of money back into the economy. Think of the flow of money as a big circle with everyone from banks to manufacturers to customers at various points around the circle. The circle isn't being completed. It all ends at the banks. And whoever is behind the banks in the direction of rotation is shit out of luck.
