I'm here, but my capacity for finesse has been bludgeoned silly by the sheer wonderment of it all. "Bill&Monica Do America". Uh - huhhuhuhuh. Options are a heady drug, no? My poison this year has been selling short. Won one, lost one. Looking for a new victim. BFT? ZONA? Heck, maybe some AMZN if I could only find shares.

Have a friend who got heavy into options. Bought puts on AOL, Amazon and Dell in April and May. Then bought tons of calls on a bio that later failed the FDA meeting. Lastly he bought Lor and Globestar calls by the truck load about two hours before the rocket blew up and turned the 12 satellites into metal rain. And the son of a bitch doesn't even drink alcohol!ggg

For those of you who might have missed the details -- I am informed that the good Mme. Westbrook has turned her home computer office into a War Room that would do the Strategic Air Command right proud. Every square inch of available wall space is now covered with two-color candlestick charts, taped up willy nilly over the family pictures on the wall. Six 19 inch mil-spec flat panel displays are now suspended from the ceiling, blinking and auto-charting up a storm, and for nostalgia's sake she's even put in one of those nifty old tickertape machines. So that will explain the "clack-clack-clack" you hear in the background in case you call her. She does not look at the tape, but it's sort of inspiring to make the split-second calls with that peculiar undercurrent of immediacy that such a contraption brings to any home office.
