LCOS.. I pulled out as well and left about 1/2 point. I pulled out of AEOS.. but still have my Sept. S&P Index puts which I plan to hold for a while. I had to sell my august puts since they expire tomorrow. I hope some of you listened when I advocated yesterday morning fortifying your portfolios with puts. Best thing when you want puts but don't know which sector to buy index puts. Tonight I'll be looking for some stocks like DAOU,LBOR, DSLGF (if I'm lucky) so we find some good ones for tomorrow. We'll be okay throughout this choppy market if we heed two tactics: 1) fortify trading portfolios with puts 2) for the 'bounceback' depend first and foremost on stocks that have strong fundamentals but pulled back because of a weak quarter, unexplained pullback(LBOR, AEOS) or mild sales shortage due to weather, etc. (i.e. SBUX, SGE) 3) Don't overtrade. When in doubt, hold back. I was 'dying' to get into the internets today but did not get any strong signals in anything but LYCOS so I held back.
