Bev--I fully expect that we will take it out before the day is done

With the decline in the VIX--my limit order on the OEX Nov 495 will not work -- so I have cancelled that and switched to the 500 strike with a little less premium -- placed a limit order on that to sell the first batch of calls. Let's see if they want to give it to me.

We could have a couple of days of continued strength if we close strong today what with short covering and so on. If Coug's scenario comes about then who knows how high it could go before the week is out.

But I suspect that it will top out by mid-week.

Bev, the BKX is considerably off its highs

When we rally back -- esp if we get to the highs for the day--if we don't see a good recovery in the BKX, I would be wary as to the staying power of this rally.

I will be watching this closely to determine how to proceed.
