That is a fantastic idea. Until the bear recently raised it's ugly head you would have been making a killing. Leaving your stop in place would have saved you from paying the price. Would you consider the risk of such an investment to be higher, or lower, or simply too hard to predict, due to the recent sell off?

What is the trend now? Would it be wise to wait for an uptrend to start or would index options be safe now? What the heck how much could you lose with a stop?

I guess what I'm saying is that I think I can identify some stocks that will return from 30% to 100% gains or more in a matter of days to weeks. It happens every time I start a new thread dedicated to a company's stock. Granted I haven't done it often but that might change.

Regards, Jeff

Hi Speed:

Couldn't resist....

Ok, so I've got some OCT DJX puts and the market looks pretty thin for these suckers. I'm concerned about liquidity...and moving fast. Re. the move today from -200 on the dow to -100 in 1/2 hour. On Monday I tried to sell in the last half hour only to get blocked by the bell. It's like shooting at a moving target.

Are the SPX options more fluid?
