e-mail: NKE..Oil service sector, KMET..CIEN...AMD AMD..I'm very bullish on AMD..even more than on INTC. It's been in my long term portfolio from the September. I also trade it as well and it's been on many watch lists. I saw in the morning that RON had earnings problem. That is what I meant when I said no matter how low some are they will still get lower. This sector is best left alone for the time being. You might be able to get a 'bounce' on some issues but nothing more. Market has no clear trend, unpredictable.. Will wait for clearer trend before going long. One of those days good to get out in the morning after initial 'rally' and/or last night after good gains. Out of long positions except VANS, Now holding puts on HAL, puts on S&P NKE..surprised but glad the trend is still up. KMET.. don't know why it's up, but no one called it this morning. CIEN is looking really good... finally.

OEWVT now 17 3/4 * 18 1/2 in at 16.. you can't predict the market. I try to be a contrarian and buy puts when the market is up and calls when it is down. Most of the time I do okay (75-25) and when I don't I bail quickly so the loss is rarely more than 1 point and the gain can be anywhere from 1 3/4 on upwards. The best I had in September was 17 points gain on index option. In August on the Index puts it was almost always a win/win situation. Grab your profit and stay in cash for the next rally, whether it be intraday or Wednesday/Thursday/Friday.. I did not plan to sell COMS today but it was reversing. Nor did I plan to sell KBH, but I don't lose more than 3-4% in a stop loss, my stops are very tight, and I still had a gain in KBH.
