LT - other than banks and airlines, you may have to wait a long time for the crash as INTC and DELL and internuts lead the techs and Nasdaq to the outer space. The Christmas season PC demand is going to be good your puts on these companies will likely get wiped out. <GG> With INTC's cheerleading, the techs and small caps can't pull back too much. The market is still full of cash and this announcement will just invite more money to step in. I know you are looking for bond to drop and US$ to tank. But where are the signs?

Not that anyone here would disagree with me but people holding long positions in this market are out of their minds. When stocks like Yahoo crash up $20 in one day and have gone up $100 in less than 4 weeks we are in serious bubble mode. Luc, holding puts or shorts now is equally crazy. This freight train is showing no signs of slowing down. I don't know where you are on your DELL puts, but they would be causing me serious pain right now if I still held mine. Same with INTC. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, is selling for reasonable prices now except for a few small caps. This market is moving on pure speculation, not reality. I have lost ALL my bearings and have no idea where we are headed. Intel and Dell at new highs? On what kind of growth rate? 30% and 100% respectively? Good God! When reality hits, I sure hope to hell everyone can find a nearby exit. Yeah, there still might be money to be made, but the risk is far beyond the potential gain. I'm day trading ONLY...going for 1/2 and 1 point gains and VERY TIGHT stop loss points. I've been doing this with PMRY with great results. The thought of holding anything overnight gives me shivers. <H>
