>>>> just bought some GTW puts instead <<<<<

I too have been looking at GTW as a good put play but was horrified atthe lack of volume. Have you traded this one before? I usually stick with the high volume plays so I don't have to worry about slow executions. The 60 puts hadn't traded all day as of noon. Any input as to the normal speed of executions. (I usually do limit orders to keep the MMs honest <ggg>>

Well, I took leave of my senses and bought DELL puts this morning.
The price was just too good. Hope I don't regret it.

Craig, very nice picks. I thought you were in big trouble
at the end of trading yesterday when DELL was tanking.
