Bart, not on margin until the trend has turned. Forget ASND for now. TXN will take more than one try to cruise thru its 200-day ema from below.

>>I'm thinking that ASND, TXN KLIC COMS and a few others are looking cheap now. Not sure if I should attack with options or get more conservative and just play the stock and not on margin!-What do you al think?<< To get the kind of returs you are expecting 2 years outlook at which price the leaps are too expensive so play it safe and get the stock.. One of the things you can do with stocks is, if it goes to 50% of value, you can still sell calls on them to make a few bucks a month.. You want to do that with leaps and its a lot mor expensive with the 25%-50% premiums they want..

Bart- Thanks for your post- nice to see you in great spirits, I hope you will start very soon on a new site yourfirst professional love, markets have to be always second or even third in line of priority. I would not be in a hurry to re-initiate positions in the market, let this ASEAN crisis settle however in my opinion if you are invested you should look at levels very closely and any break of major support like SPZ 942 should not be over looked, that is a kind of level which will definitely in my view take us to test supports- of course I will only assume as a purist that 942 is broken on closing basis twice. I am positive otherwise on the direction and will remain so until basic parameters change, for me market fundamentals are intact and this movement within levels is a normal movement ofcourse most of us use to unrelentless market probes of top and new highs may find this quite frustrating but it is encouraging to see market slowly coming back to normal and gradually following a trend instead of a runaway train.
