Bill, And you know TAXES!<VBG>Florida was great and the wx here is perfect. Sorry about those calls. IMHO..The psych factors have taken over this market stronger than ever which is going to make TA and options strategies a lot tougher.Is the trend (up) creating this or are the psych aspects creating the trend? I think it is the latter. This market is and has been weak in many respects for a long time and WE KNOW the funnymentals are absurd. Normally, this would be the perfect set up for your BK....but with soooo much money and those psych factors it will be tough to get that BK.The other "sure" thing is that we will not know "when" or "what"! I noticed yesterday some divergence in otpion prices and market movement...whatever that means?Any thoughts on such a move? My best guess is that we are losing the time premium and perhaps the pricing is reflecting a bit less energy in the market that would limit the volatility in the short term...which is an obvious killer when trying to make a buck. My play right now is long a couple stocks and I tossed out a very low-ball bid on some oex 840 puts just in case we get some big move up this week. Regards, Barbara
