Scotty: You may be right. I have accumulated cash and bought the Blanchard (Amer. Century) 2025 Zero Fund, However, I still hold a few longs. Shorting, buying puts, and the like can be very tough games. The traders (at wire houses and others) as well as the specialists KNOW exactly how much is short and at what price..think about that for a bit. As to puts - even if you can beat the spread and commission grinds - it is all short-term gains. IMHO - not the way to amass major $$$$. (And that's what interests me ). Don't want to be a spoil-sport, but I would just love to have a "bucket shop" and book 95% of all the touts I read on these threads. If they're telling the truth- BIG IF- the blood is flowing over on the Intel Trader thread. The very best to you Don
