I've lost my ass and am spinning in circles looking for it.

Who was that joker who quoted an ancient Chinese proverb a few weeks ago "May you live in interesting times." <G>

Don't be too happy for me, as I lost a fair chunk of change nonetheless. I made some money on the Dec. 35 puts, and the Dec. 37-1/2 puts, but lost on the Dec 32-1/2, which unfortunately I had loaded up on. But I'm happy to be out of this mess. I would consider going long COMS below $30.
