Not really.. just looks that way. Mostly sold the options puts I bought yesterday about 10:50 just when the net rally fizzled after selling the long positions (WEBT, and INTU) at about 9:45, Then for today I had prepared a list of possible option positions.. to go long or short. There were only about 5 possibilities.. CMGI, AMZN, AOL, CSCO, LCOS That was part I of the day. Then after I saw the rally was weakening picked up only two options puts CMGI and LCOS. (list was ready and options model volatility skew already prepared during the night).. my choices were down to LCOS, CMGI, AOL, CSCO, AMZN With all this all I really watched were the stocks that make up the internet index.. the OEX, and about 1 dozen stocks. I barely had time to look at today's watch list and certainly nothing else. Then I prepared a short list of my favorite longer term holds that I got stopped out of: ADLAC,MACR, NTBK especially ADLAC which I mentioned yesterday and was really excited about since I never saw it down that much before. Then I do what I always do when the market is extremely volatile.. I look at my two favorite financial stocks A) PVN and B) COF. Everyone has seen my successful as well as less successful forays into PVN and COF. So now Im not doing much but watching BGEN and NTBK and PVN.. No way you could have made use of the posts where I sold yesterday's puts but I did post my buy on NTBK, ADLAC and the PVN puts in a timely manner.. and the early morning puts might have been a little more risky..
