Bob, I think it was a good moment to switch in SPX. Sooner or later probably every of us will return to a normal life, doing something with real worth, living again in the real world. This was a difficult year for everyman - whether "trader" or "investor", and twice hard for Intel-fellows. I'm sure, you were not loosing your abilities but a extraordinair market in a difficult environment made it hard for you to achieve good profits the way you used to trade. Some here can remember that you was my coach when I began posting here - I ever will be greatful for your patience and a lot of help in technical questions. It's something special when you get assistence in a strange country, just speaking a few dozen words. As I said sometimes before, you have for my understanding the best feeling for the market among all of us. It's hard for you that you must move again after this short while - however, sometimes this can be the start of a new experience, can enrich our lifes. We all wish to you and your great family a very good time on your new location. You have a lot do do as it seems - but every struggle has an end. If you like, write us from time to time - I truly hope we can meet together sometimes in the "Pfälzer Berge", take some "Schoppe" and talk about "Gott und die Welt". And - even if you let your stox run - please don't forget that this here is your company: a good ceo must have a look at his employees from time to time. Good luck! Jury

MG Re silly chart Stop losses can be very interesting.. I see the MMs play those lines all the time. Seems like they will play them until there is no more action on them. If you assume that this puppy will pull back and then move up into the year end then: Write puts at the money with a fresh batch at each $2.5 strike. At the same time buy deep in the money calls .. say ~$15 in the money. Leg in 1x 2x 4x etc .. AMG data has 4.5 billion that went into equity funds last week and money market funds with negative flow of $1.7. Estimate that there is an additional $50 billion waiting for the next dip. OT thought you might like to see this item .. the folks that make it are looking for new owners. Friend of a friend of a friend: bike-hiker.com My best wishes also go out to IT. Gersh
