More selling tomorrow. There was panic this afternoon, and many couldn't get through to their brokers. Then they shut down a market in free fall and no one could sell. Retail investors will assess this evening and many will want to protect the profits they've made so far this year, especially since they've already made plans for spending their profits! Watch the overseas markets before the open. My friends in SE Asia are still screaming sell.

Thanks for the great post. In that case perhaps we should hope the market goes down another 1,000 points.

That would provide a wonderful buying opportunity for those of us that had the devine wisdom which some of us on this thread seem to proclaim.

For the rest of us greedy, dumb shits hang in there.

qdog,

No puts on QCOM, eh?

I have to say that the timing of my re-entry was less than perfect. I sold some naked puts last week which in combination with my existing long puts created sort of a ratio diagonal calendar bull spread.

Needless to say that it's not doing so great at this point. On the bright side, I may have a lot of QCOM put to me at bargain price of $55. ;-)

It seems that the option premiums went up a lot. What month did you get your 60s calls for?

Joe
