dennis, I was watching DELL tick for tick today. I have good tools now to do it. It is amazing, it bounced up nicely after being down a buck. I can see why day traders love it. It would flicker between 1/2 point in a matter of seconds. And when I bought my put, I got it way below the current market price due to the swings it has. I held on to my puts today, the action closing wasnt impressive. In fact I am up to the bid now on my puts, and that is groovy by me. The market really hammered AAPL after they said that earnings forward might not be so hot. Also PEP, it got killed. Why did PFE go up after their news? That had me thrown. I read from Don that typical movement is flat today, and down tomorrow, so I will look to make my move out tomorrow if we have a good down day.

I hope you all do well on your puts. I tried to pull off a spread and missed my KEA entry on the calls while working. My limit order didn't get hit so I am going to miss the run tomorrow I guess. Unfortunaly, I did get filled on my CPWR puts that I only bought as a sector insurance in case someone else in the sector got nailed and dragged the group down. Now I am only holding puts on a good conmpany at the wrong time. Ouch. Not sure if I should dump first thing tomorrow or hold on and hope for a Black Monday. I haven't updated my charts yet but MU is up in put territory again. it will be interesting to see how it lines up on the chart. Did anyone else notice the premiums shot way up today. KEA had a 4 point drop today at one point yet the call only went down less than 2 points. This is ridiculous. I almost bought the stock just so I could sell puts. Also, the tick never was negative more than a few minutes. Honest strength or buy programs running all day trying to prop the market up? Be back later after I know more.
