Guilty! Got caught by the big drop. I sold naked Mar 125 puts. Ouch!

Paul,>>>One shouldn't minimize the options plays and clues the bears provide<<< I'm not talking about normal market action. Stocks go up and they go down. I'm not even talking about cheerleading when you have a stake in it. I mean, Mount St. Mary doesn't have a prayer in beating Michigan State - but so what if their student body and alumnus are rooting for their team and shouting "we're number one" and putting a few dollars on their team (at a trillion to one) to win the whole thing. It's even okay for me to go over to their campus to explain why they don't have a chance. But, for me to make up phoney rumors, spread around highly questionable analysis, and use suspect statistics to prove my point would be kind of emotionally unhealthy on my part. Regards, Mary PS: I'm really not all that happy, on a technical basis, that you are mildly bullish Intel short term (gggg).
