Say Earlie, how are you going short the Inutz? The equity itself? The poots are looney and there usually aren't any way deep ITM ones to use as a proxy for the equity to escape the self defeating premium. I ask because my broker never has any available Inutz shares. Regards, Ice

Early, anyone-- Does anyone understand the options market well enough to explain if short put positions cancel out long puts so as to show no open interest? I think there are some very peculiar shenanigans going on with the derivatives, and I just hope in case I do make money the money will be there to pay me. I guess I could always exercise and see what happened.

it's time to launch a new company: blindpool.com or dotcom.com The new concern will be offered only over the internet. It will be a blind pool arrangement with the stated intention of investing in internet related companies, preferably in the garage stage. Management hasn't yet been identified, but will most likely be whomever accepts the checks when they roll in. Thus, it is not possible at the present time to state what, if any, experience management has in the internet arena or whether they will have any particular ability to choose good investments. A couple of banner ads on Excite should do the trick, don't you think?

Earlie: Believe you are too early. AG and the FED wont let the market decline. They have married themselves to it and anyone who believes that he will not use all his power to prevent a market decline has not been following the FED actions lately (imo) He will play every last card in the book. Heres my take: (fwiw) It will decline when further expansion of the money supply causes a rise in rates. When AG drops short term rates and long term rates immediately spike upwards, it will be time. To your point, both of these scenarios are currently being played out to some degree or another but I expect it to be really obvious.
