Nah, David, they filed bankruptcy petitions long ago and stiffed the brokerage firms. Can't get blood out of a turnip.... BTW, I'm (hopefully) finishing up the divorce from hell. The judge in Family Court (not Judge Judy) said, "Well you seem to be doing pretty good in investments. After this is over, can we go out for a few drinks and talk about what you think I should be doing?" Off the hourly rate, Mark A. Peterson

re 1987 crash cases for don martini... index puts are cash/cash transactions, finite...can't roll forward...equity puts against cash/capacity easily rolled forward..sort of infinite,,,if you are an astute financial advisor you should know the difference...selling of puts is a very conservative strategy...risk is established at time of contract, never increases...worst case you own the stock at a discount to what it was trading on the day you established the position...ed a.
