denmo, when you say long,
I believe you're primarily playing SPX options, correct? I went long QQQ calls today, smaller than usual, and almost went the straddle route. Sep oex to eom Oct fund year end. Some profits will be locked.
I have followed your overall market calls on various boards, and continue to stand by my remark a few months ago:
You, sir, are dead on the money.
