"Why stop at 20-25%?" I agree. hehehe {I didn't} For reference: Message 5313747 I said 25-55% {trivial difference}, I bought CDN TIP's puts the other day. {now I can daytrade against in the money puts}. But I also agree that the real market is individual Put options on stocks that seem flat since March. Most banks seem to fit this. Many people have glossed over Greenspans comment{higher rates}. If this is not a warning, what is? In any continued downturn, Automotive Put are usually good. Oil Calls {although I belive the market has already jumped on this} should be GOOD. AOL as you suggest is a number 1 on most lists. Add Compaq, HP, Dell, MSFT, Disney, {actually nearly the whole Dow 30}, and if you get the cycles right you should pull off a good chunk of cash. PS: Just so you don't think I hate GOLD, I predict that GOLD will start an incline around NOV {but is still to early to be confident} Still see gold going much lower in the short time. {maybe 265 or less} Definition of short time: 3 month period. Long term: A 9 month period, length of options. VERY LONG. A full length leap option. PPS: my option strategy differs from most. I buy near expiration {sometimes less than a month} and just in the money. I like delta investing.
