The speed and size of the last downticks is getting my attention as a sign that the market was just Pumped and dumped. i ask myself, is not enough all the profits the Bulls made in the way up, to be buying again at this time in a period of high risk, so if you were they, with a lot of money in your pockets, would you be buying, or better said, if you were they and you would have a lot od PAPER PROFITS , you sure would be trying to pump and dump as today. Conclusion, as i said before, all the talking and wires and tapes and press releases are a coordinated effort to keep this market alive to the upside in order to let them sell before of the small investors who already are awaere of their strategy and are selling instead of buying. later. ovetUS. The thing i don't find fair, is that after last friday last hour rally, there has not been any real BAD SHOWED press release or wire, everything was bullish oriented, and thats not good because they are tring to make fool on us. What a coordination, i don't trust anymore on the so called G7 and theirs principals representatives. Right now we have an 245 points up market and a MINUS 235 ticket bravo,bravo, keep going. ovetUS:

That depends on what you are buying, Time is the most powerful force in the market, and it is the most expensive thing to buy particularly if your leveraged. The shorter the time period the more it cost you per day. If you have a longer term out look that says down, then buy longer term puts, the premium per day is cheaper, and you have a bigger window to exploit. I can't play your hand, nor you mine, and neither of us Gresh's, how ever if I held the cards he posted, I would be selling the high ones, rolling forward on some cheaper ones, and taking some profit on the way. An old saying goes, " Bulls can make money, Bears can make money, but Pigs get slaughtered." Jim
