What do you mean Duke WAS? Hell, it's one of the best dungeons I've ever visited.

As long as Jim's head keeps leading his tail I think the puts look good. (g) And today the OEX sure is way ahead of the SPX on the downside.

I added near the close on the bounce, now up to 80% in SPX May 1080 puts. Lost 2.50 on the call trade today.

I'll try to find a reference for you on EW counts. But the wave count alone is insufficient to use EW. First you need to watch the ocean a while, like Steve McQueen on that prison island in the movie Papillon. Then you need to read a book on it. Then you need to lose a bunch of money following someone else who is using it. Then think about it some more and watch the waves on the ocean some more. Then read another book and all along while you're doing that stare at SPX chart patterns every day.

Hope that's helpful.

Thanks for your input today and staying in touch. It helped me stay in my positions although I got out at the end of the day.

I sold short SP8M and bought OEX puts both of which were profitable.

I should have my other computer up and running today and hopefully download all the tick data I missed in the last 5 days.

I will follow your EW analysis and use my charts to verify short term moves.

Please keep posting and stay in touch intraday.

Thanks

Ratan
