William/Mike/Earlie: Let me get this straight. Reserves being drawn down by demand for money by corporate america. Corporations are using the money to buy back stock in ever increasing amounts. (Since book value at historic low, they are buying assets with debt and overpaying for it) Federal Reserve "saves the bond market" by expanding the money supply and cutting rates rapidly. Federal Reserve claims disinterest in the stock market. Whats wrong with this picture ? I think it is the part where the Federal Reserve claims disinterest in the stock market. They are interested in fomenting the bubble till they can do so no longer. Which brings me to the point that the "stealth tightening" concept that has been floated on this thread is balderdash in my opinion. I see no evidence for it whatsoever. What you think ? Next question. One of the references you pointed to cited the "tronics" syndrome back in the 60's. ie anything with tronics in the name was worth 3x its not so well named counterpart. What do you feel is the best way to capitalize on the internut mania. Index puts or individual names. I am leaning towards index as it is possible that deals get done on individual names which do not increase the value of the index but could decimate your put portfolio on individual names. That said, what names/indices do you all like thanks
