Bonnie: You mean there may be corruption here in the US of A? I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED! Where do I get some info on the non-index related bloat? Does seem like a safer play if our cynical assumptions are at least partly correct. Jack

Bonnie, You have hit the nail right smack on the middle of the head. All over the world tonight, stock indexes are more or less flat. Unless you look at the broader indexes. All the broader indexes are lousy. In other words, flight to safe big capitalization stocks is going on (or if you wish to get a little paranoid this late at night, the plunge protection teams are generating the maximum amount of good vibes per $ by supporting the more narrow, well publicized indexes, and letting the broader market fend for itself. ) Asia: bloomberg.com Europe: bloomberg.com In any case, what we are seeing is a rotation back into the Dow, at the expense of the SPX, and into the SPX and Dow at the expense of the small cap Nasdaq. I wish Rarebird were still posting. I sold my KO (Cocacola) and PFE (Pfizer) puts this morning as the result of a conversation we had on the Kahuna thread last night. As long as you stick to the small cap puff stocks, I think puts are going to make money. -- Carl
