Hi Jan. Say, do you think you could gin up one of those sector distribution charts? The number of sectors below 30% is more than most of us have seen in our P&F lifetimes. It would be an interesting snapshot that we could refer back to when we are P&F old-timers telling sea stories about the washed-out sectors back in '98!!!! Take care duke60 p.s. how did the new puppy take the quake?????

Can we talk alittle about options... I know you mentioned that you normally don't like to actually short stock, but would rather play with options and you always enter IN THE MONEY. I'm still a bit weak on these, so tell me if this is the right process you would go through... Looking at QCOM and the current overall market, I thought this might be a quick SHORT trade. It just switched to a sell signal. RS showing Sell in a column of "O's". And the sector is BEAR CONFIRMED. SOOOOOOOO I then looked at the PUTS. Sept 55's are currently at $3.00. Would this be where you would enter?? I am assuming I am "BUYING" a put. (Working on the lingo!) Looking for words of advice. ME - CLPP

Very off topic -- Jan, as a firm lurker, I'd like to add a contribution in the humoruous but true category: A young highway patrolman pulled over a car with 5 cute college women in it as they were speeding. He proceeded to go into the "Do you know how fast you were going?" routine. In trying to talk their way out of a ticket, one of the cuties said, "Aw, come on officer, we know your really just trying to sell us tickets to the patrolmen's ball." The officer puffed himself up and replied, "Ma'am, patrolmen don't have balls!!!" The women cracked up hysterically, the officer blushed with embarrassment and returned to his car, and the women drove off.
