A trader follows the trend. They can switch to puts from calls or from calls to puts or stay out all together. Whatever happens into the quagmire will sink the staunch MMM, G, AA, and MSFT, even the 'smart investor' holding on to his PFE,GE and INTC. It's not traders who are holding onto the nets its those 'individual investors' who get in high and stay in for the gold at the end of the rainbow. Its those very same pseudo-traders with the convoluted strategies that don't take profits off the table. I personally own 5 net stocks of 100-200 shares each with over 100% profit on each, 3 options with 8-10 contracts each.. 500 shares of SONE, 500 shares of CDNW.. and that's it that's net related. If you talked to me 48 hours ago instead of SONE I would have said "INSP" and "EBAY" about 1 week ago... I would hold 1000 shares but I've stopped that since that "tuesday". SONE is only a swing trade at best. Smart traders presumably did the same.

<<<Also, if you guys get a chance to read the latest Money magazine, check out the great article on these three seniors who spend "all day" at their local Schwab broker, eating breakfast, lunch, and cheering on their stocks while watching the ticker scroll by. Reminds me of that documentary I saw on the 1929 crash. lol !! Twick>>>>>>>> In the World Trade Center in NYC there is Benjamin Franklin Book store dedicated to sell book and magazine for traders since early 1980. Border opens the superstore also in World trade Center. As a result, BF bookstore has to close. Last Friday morning, I passed by this book store on the way to work, I saw the sign of 25% discount. I checked out the rack for books that I like to buy (8:30 AM). At lunch hour, I came to check them out: well all books on trading are gone ... Only fiction and non fiction novels are left. The whole three racks, each with four levels of trading books are gone within 3 hours.
