BB- The put play should hold together for a few more days... I think you will see continued downward pressure tomorrow in the absence of any news. I covered my whole short position at the end of the day as a precaution as large amounts of capital are at risk with a sizable short position... plus it helps me sleep better <ggg> Tech Master P.S. I'll be all over ENMD again tomorrow ;)

AV-Exactly the way you did. I would not have budged. We have a nice downward momentum which I think will continue into the rest of the week. Too bad it didn't drop further but it is definitely going in the right direction. I would like to say that at a $2 profit (20% gain), I would have sold out and then got back in when the stock recovered during the day but I won't because it wouldn't be accurate. when the reversal occurred, I took the opportunity to average down the May40 PUTs I previously bought. So the GREED MONSTER got the best of me. However, I can unload all PUTs at a collective gain tomorrow. Therefore, I sit and wait for further downward motion and higher profits. I will sell the last 25 contracts at $40, the next 25 contracts at $35, and the final 25 contracts at $30 should these targets be reached. I am not sure what the $40 target price would be but the $30 and $35 targets will definitely be profitable. Hopefully, a dip to $40 tomorrow or this week will yield a $7 bid. Andrew
