Well, for one I'm never wrong, and two some of the bears out here have been a little bit honery.

Well, I took a look at my put portfolio, and while I no doubt lost value today, I haven't been doing terribly badly lately: Symbol Bot -- Today's Bid -- Quantity GTWXF 2.25 -- 2.625 -- 20 WLAMG 3.375 -- 6.000 -- 20 HLOA 0.500 - 0.500 -- 70 (Okay, technically this is a call.) LLQWJ 0.4375 -- .125 -- 20 XIQWK 1.000 -- .0625 -- 15 VQTMF 1.000 -- 0.500 -- 10 This gives me a total profit, after spread, but before commisions of $3468.75 on open BK type options contracts. My BK options have been doing rather well lately, I can't recall the last one that closed at a loss, its been at least a month or two. It must have been SOX puts that expired worthless. And overall, today was an excellent day, counting that pile of unvested in the money options I'm a slave to. (up $17,000) So don't waste too much tears on my part. :) -- Carl
