Have some beat-up stocks -- foreign, gold & platinum that decreased slightly -- hardly of any consequence. Also, puts (bought over the last three months) that increase several percent, some double, some triple, some less. One position I bought today: a few MSFT Oct 85 puts which close to doubled, but I guess that was just increase in volatility because the stock didn't drop that much. (oh, and 1 small short position -- stock dropped 10% ~ only a market performer so far.) Total % increase for stock and puts and cash I'm not sure, but certainly looking much better than 3 days ago.
