Jim, I don't know how many people check this thread, but E*trade lost it right after your 10:34 post. I immediately went back to check out the market via e*trade after your post, & it wouldn't let me back in. I retried constantly for 45 minutes with no luck. They put up a message saying they were experiencing "Technical Difficulties".

I thought you called the correction right then. Luckily I got back in in another 15 minutes & sold some profitable long positions that I'd rather buy back if we don't take an expiration dip (I have personally been expecting one of those rare rallies through expiration).

Your certainty combined with no access certainly scared the (long) pants off me ;-)

Tom
