I haven't had the guts yet to buy outright puts on this whale. It must take a different mentality to put big bucks down on inut puts. I will probably do a few when Burke does his.

Almost 100% Money Market with a few buy/writes for fun is pretty bearish for me.

I shorted KO last year. Scared me to death. Had to cover. Bought puts on cpq once, lost money. What's the saying about never underestimating the stupidity of the public?

On some of these threads they are talking about mob not moving towards xon bid. no arb activity. some are concluding that arbs are tapped out?? any thoughts. Perhaps the takeover is a myth <g>
