<One newletter says buy SLB puts.> That's what makes a market, I guess. The last post I read on Stock Swap was a from a poster who just went long SLB. It's a nice market to sell options. But the tales of horror I have heard over the years about being short puts in '87 leaves me a bit reluctant to be naked options or to hold contracts in the futures overnight. Wel this bounce back here takes "some" of the fear out of a late day washout. I kinda hope it holds together as I don't wish to come in Monday and see an express train zippin' by in either direction until I get on board.
