Looks like a big hit on the Mexican Peso last night.

Hi Tekgk, I certainly agree about the volatility... something I stupidly ignored this morning: - COMS puts 7 points out of the money (15%) at 3/4. - COMS opened up at 37 a drop of 5. Here's the best part boys and girls... - I would have bought the puts at 3... - COMS went to over 46 last I checked... - those puts are probably worth 1/16th... Wheeeeooo - another bullet dodged... I should add a rule that says anytime the volatility is over 30, DON'T OPEN A NEW (option) POSITION!!! (And watch any you have VERY closely...) Regards, Bill
