scotty, I've had MDT on watch for puts...along with SEBL, CKR, YHOO, LCOS, CXIT, CHRZ, NVLS. I am in AOL for a mere handful(5) FEB 110s @ 3 7/8.I am looking for earnings sell off tomorrow or later this week when the DOW turns.It may take some strength to stay with this one if rally continues tomorrow!I would have gone for more but the MMs quit discounting the ask after the stock hit about 109.From 109 to 112 the ask only changed 1/4!Maybe they are expecting a sell off too? PK

hi Scotty and everyone. i didn't expect the market to go up like this. the smaller growth stocks i have been buying have not been greatly changed. am waiting to open some puts on the downside. hope everyone is doing well. will sell off some options tomorrow and get more cash to invest in puts/shorts. last time i did this the market rally stated. i think the market will go up tomorrow because of AOL and AMAT earnings (and AOL split). most companies are reporting good earnings. i thought this earning season would be down but good earnings and low interest rates and stable inflation are stabilizing this overbought market. ag
