BTW- I'm thinking an easy way to make instant cash is to straddle my puts with some may 170 calls..

Since everyone knows the stock is going to move 30 points in SOME direction, pretty safe bet. (Although the calls are a bit more expensive that equivalen mirror puts)

Mark,

>> we hit down on 100 ma at low of today.

Thanks. my net positions are a teeny tiny amount. And a day like this makes me very annoyed. I wonder about the people with thousands of shares. I don't think I have the temperament for that. Did you sell anything in the run-up ?

I'm looking for panic selling to put in a bottom. $134 I don't think is going to cut it for panic selling. $120 I think would do it, if it happens today, as shorts would scramble to lock in short term profits.
