dennis, Keep in mind that as everyone starts to make money selling calls/shorting etc, that this cannot continue over an extended period of time. In the back of my mind I see arbitragers taking advantage of this and there is a possibility of a squeeze. Just like in a powerful bull market if the sentiment drags too much on the one side, history shows that things tend to even out. Properly stated, an investor must be cautious and not play the sentiment only, just because we have tanked after the bond close doesnt mean that it is a daily play. I am very cautious of committing to any one side.. FWIW edit) DELL seems to be back in short term favor. As the market moves upwards, DELL seems to be on top of the wave, funny how this morning it seemed to be the opposite.
