OJ and Autumn, I am with you both ... I really couldn't believe how succinctly OJ put this in his post! And how you covered it ... doesn't matter which way we are, it's too painful or too late!! I guess the only good times were when I was double hedged in OEX/SPX Puts ... but I rarely did that (maybe twice!). << Geez i'm sick and tired of waking up in the am, peering over my warm covers, turning on CNBC, and looking immediately for that "freakin" BUG in the lower right corner... >> Nice to know others, as do I, fear what is above the covers now in life, rather than what's under the bed!!!!!!

To all *Please Calm Down and Let us move ahead* I have been out of this thread for nearly 20 hours and it has over blown out of porportion. I have not read all the replies yet. So some of my points may not be reflective of the current status of the dispute. I (and few others) who were here since this thread was started on SI see this current fight as yet another distraction cycle. That is part of life as long one is part of a public forum. I know that for many people this is the world. It is not. I have been in "internet news groups" for more than 10 years and i have seen these kind of fights break out on daily basis. Time will be the healer. I spoke to Ike late Sunday evening and he also feels very dejected. It is not worth fighting. He will not get into this kind of useless debates in future no matter what every individual will try in future. He considers it as too much sufering on him and his family. We need his directions and he will provide it. He may be wrong and if so who cares. No body is forced to follow what he says. Everybody has to have their mind to make their own decision. We cannot be leach for ever feeding on others ideas. This thread is to learn not to follow like a sheep. I assure to all the parties involved that IKE will not respond any further. If people feel it is worth pursuing his ideas it is your right to do so. If he is wrong it is tough luck. It is a forum and is not profit oriendted outfit. If people want to have counter opinion that will be enrich the thread. Even otherwise market will teach the missing parts. Let us all come back to normal and start concentrating on how market will react this week as there is Japanese bank crisis brewing and can have far more influence on US markets than ASEAN woes. Wellcome to a new week. -Karun
