Michael--a very tough call on what to do

I am hedging long equity positions like I said that I would do in a post some time back,

I am sorely tempted to buy some OEX puts -- but it is against an up-trend. Will let you know if I do the trade. May just do a "funny money" trade.

No opinion on the other indices.

Regards

Michael/Lisa/Behrouz/Tony--just took a half-position in the OEX Dec puts

This is a high risk trade--will add the other half if the futures gap up on the open tomorrow and then unable to hold its strength -- or if I get a sell signal in the futures.

FYI--DOW was at 99 when I placed the order
