SEC short-selling ban to end Thursday
Bearish bets to resume three trading days after Bush signs $700 bln bailout
By Alistair Barr, MarketWatch
Last update: 6:06 p.m. EDT Oct. 3, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission said late Friday that its short-selling ban will expire just before midnight on Wednesday.
That means hedge funds and other investors can put new bearish bets on shares of financial-services companies starting Thursday.
The SEC said earlier this week that the ban would expire three trading days after the $700 billion government bailout plan became law. President Bush signed the legislation into law on Friday, after the House of Representatives voted for the plan earlier in the day.
The ban, which has prohibited shorting of more than 900 financial-services stocks since the middle of last month, has hampered hedge fund managers' ability to protect their portfolios from losses in equity markets.
Hedge funds may have lost 5% to 9% on average in September, the worst performance in more than a decade, according to Hennessee Group, which tracks performance in the $2 trillion industry. The SEC's short-selling ban was a big factor in those losses, the firm said on Friday. See full story.

I wouldn't worry about it. You can sell them in a day or even same day if ya achieve your profit you want or think thats all you will get out of it. If ya pick something that might take 2 weeks to move then I wouldn't buy them. Also you can achieve big rewards within the last 2 weeks.
Another thing Jimmy loves to play on the last day on expiration
lol...helped a little but still got 2 weeks
I'll have to search but on my ST acct it shows last yr was Nov 7th so I figured around same time in Nov. this yr.
Oct. 10...bought when it was around 12-14
I need C too fall to 10 or closer
Gone Red now....Watch we drop 200-300 today so overall from high today we would of dropped 500-700
Bought Dec. $5 PUTS...hope a big sell off when earnings come out or before
bought some PUTS at opening for .40 & now at .70....weeee keep falling
Im glad...thought about selling wait for the bounce & rebuy glad im holding right now still
APPL Nov. Options are priced with Earings I guess.
No problem...always try to pass something along when I see something even if I am wrong sometimes.
Anyone using Scottrade having problems?

Heard Cramer say we will go down another 2000-2500
Citi expects to raise $10 billion in common equity in connection with this transaction and reduce its quarterly dividend to 16 cents per share, effective immediately, to maintain the company’s strong capital position. On a pro forma basis for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, Citi’s Tier 1 capital ratio is expected to be 8.8% assuming completion of the transaction.
Anyone going to play GOOG PUTS for Earnings?...I think they going to miss seeing what they are expected to earn on ST 4.80 and last Q expected was 4.72 & did 4.63
I got $10 PUTS on them (Citi) when they were around 13-15 and they jumped to 18-21 so I am hoping they go down to 5 or so I can make some $
Morning Tina & HoPers
