Jeffrey, Recently I have been playing stock options not index options, so just in case things dont go exactly right I have till April. Also it was only a 5/8-3/4 difference between the Apr & Mar PUTs. Another thing, that many are not realizing is that there are more and more stocks dropping while the indexes are relatively flat or moving up. Its a fact now that fewer and fewer stocks are participating, so that means that there is an increasing number of stocks moving to the downside, or remaining flat. I here from the BULLISH analyst that it will be a stock pickers market to the upside. Well with the increasing number of stocks falling out of favor I am also stock picking in reverse. Its fine with me if this market moves higher, just more stocks to pick from for the downside, until the market internal changes, and if the internals do improve I will just be nimble. Seeya Once I am more comfortable with the momentum decreases in the index, I will resume trading the index options.
