Jenna, I've noticed that you do a fair amount of index option buying on the put and call side. One thing you may want to consider in lieu of index puts, is shorting SPY or DIA. The value of these is tied closely to the SP500 and Dow Jones Industrial, respectively. However, unlike regular securities, these index trusts are not subject to the "uptick" rule. They can be sold short at any time. Beats the hell out of waiting for what you think is the correct option premium to come into line. amex.com amex.com
