Well fellow OEX' ers I too am in them, and I'm going to hold them for awhile, instead of trying to time the market day to day...If the direction is UP, and the Jan effect comes about, then i'll gamble for the markets & the OEX to go a lot higher, near term... I'm holding thru my vacation starting Fri, i'll be back on the 2nd, and might hold then too<ggggggg> What the hell huh????........:>} Hey Japan is closed???? thatsa good NO???? Maybe when they re-open<g>, they will soar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holidays have that calming effect on a lot of people... we shall see right???? Later

Lisa, Not feeling so great at the moment for holding! IF this market does what it did last year we will pick up a little change,but I was not expecting a big run over the next few days.Nor was I expecting this morning's action!Talk about a great contrarian indicator...ME! :) I only bought 2 calls so I would not get hurt and at this point I don't know if I would add at any point today. IMHO it is still not time to buy puts...unless the SPX hit 973 today.<G> Do you have a plan?We should have checked out that astroecon site...he hinted that today would be the low!<G> Happy Holidays, Barbara
