To All, I am obviously happy about the way the tech stocks have been performing, but the financials were strong, and I also have puts on those piles of camel dung. Although Freddie and Fannie and Providian and Schwab declined as rates went up, one dead cat bounce brought them all back. First Onion has certainly not recovered from where I started buying puts, but it has rallied off its low. Those stocks and several others in the financial area will be my targets next week if their rally continues. Also, I am starting to give the airlines the hairy eyeball again. It has been a year or more since my successful run in the XAL. This time I believe I will go with individual names, so stay tuned to this Bat station. <g> MB
