Fact is, I was long Amazon and made a million 5 but then shorted and only made a quarter mil on the way down. Bless me Father for I have sinned, when did I go wrong? Really ticks me off that I can't buy the GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip.

Hi OJ--good to hear from you It sure has been a heck of a week in more ways than one I am still long from the 1169 level -- and the signal that I had so little faith in when I got it, seems to be working out well. If a sell signal is triggered tomorrow, I'll have a decent profit on the trade. >>i bailed on the OEX puts at exactly the same number I paid...but shit!!! i never went long!!!!!!!!! << Be glad that you bailed out of the puts, at break-even and as far as the calls are concerned, there's always a next time:) I did not short any OEX puts this time around when I got the buy signal because I was wary of the signal -- I really need to stop second guessing the system or stop trading the OEX.
