Interesting. Here's one back at 'cha. securitytrader.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The other thing that startled me was you used the word "contracts", as in S&P futures contracts. Of all the people on SI you are the one who consistantly makes me nervous. Remember last March when the market went into a tailspin and I said just before it happened that I was getting OEX puts? (Naked, I might add). You replied something to the effect that you decided to give it a shot and you sold a bunch of index puts. Effectively hanging yourself out to dry to the tune of something like $167,000 worth of margin. There are not too many people that get me nervous. I think you do it on purpose.
