Hi Mike I am a raging BEAR!!!!!! yes the markets will rally, but I will play the short side for now...In fact Mikey if we both were on THAT side from Aug till now we'd be a LOT richer<g>... As for your AMAT play...That's a synthetic short position...I would not play that right now...because I don't want to own AMAT at any price at the moment...I'd be short all the techs, and any that are still out there that haven't been beaten up yet... They'll get a lot worse before they get better....I don't like this makret one bit...I'll play in selling calls and buying puts, and not BUYING 1 stock for the long haul, NOT YET!!! let's wait till after eps in Jan, and see what the hells going on here...I don't like what I feel...contrarian or not!!! I do not see a bottom, no way...In fact I'm begining to feel other companys besides techs will start to feel the effects of Asia.. Esp. when Japan and all the other countries decide to pull in their horns...And just STOP buying US goods!!!! think it can't happen????, i would think again... I just posted Judy on the Ideas thread some thoughts...I still haven't formulated a game plan as yet...But i am NOT buying a damn thing right now and won't till i have some very strong reasons... This market looks very bad to me...yeah we'll have our rallies, becuase of this and that...but I'll play the other side for now...maybe i'll be worng, and yeah maybe I won't...we'll see.... The freakin' Eagles lost again, sheesh!!! the are D-E-A-D!!!! :[...
