I do mention in my post to you that when these things materialise market will be lower, the affects of slower economy will be apparent in the numbers by that time we will have enough of quarters behind uo to see stimulus and cuts in Japan and domestic ignition taking its affect. When I talk of US strong economy I would like that to continue until Europe and Japan picks up, it will most probably be de-synchronised growth engines luckily a synchronised growth in ALL regions could put those pressures on wages in servis sector to extend to manufacturing sector. I hope you liked the idea of 'shift' of the yield curve it is a term I use im my lectures at colleges and have picked up from 'shift of the demand curve'. Thanks for very pertinent questions where you give us an opportunity to think.

Another cautiously bullish options strategy ... On a fundamental sound stock locked in a trading range, with proper entry on shares ... one could generate consistent income by selling calls at the top of range, and selling puts at the bottom of range. If the stock takes off and the shares get called away, profits are the short puts plus stock proceeds. If the stock dives, well ... you got stopped out of the existing shares and the puts will let you automatically reenter at a lower cost basis. I often do this on investment quality stocks that I trade or stocks that I don't mind holding for a certain timeframe.
