Hi Hepps, The past few weeks have presented many opportunities, but I would say there are more to come. Its been real rough trying to hedge with the positions that I have and have watched more strikes being slammed in the market then what happens with an alley full of professional bowlers. A lot of fear out there now and am trying to roll down and out some of the positions that I have to average in a lower cost basis. Earnings have been decent on many of the stocks that I follow, but that doesn't mean they won't be adjusted lower if things get weaker. Also buybacks on stocks like CSCO & DELL are starting to make a bigger dent on the outstanding sharecounts. Many of the smaller community backs that I follow have seen their dividend yields now pop north of 5% with some over 6% and have put on some positions there. Good trading dealmakr
