i was eyeing some puts, but have a lot of distractions with some family here. not a good idea for me to trade under these circumstances. tomorrows open is a crap shoot. we could gap big either way. i dont think we sell off much today. should we continue higher into the close i may grap a few puts on sox. spx spread is opened up to 3bucks from 2 again so i wont play them. steve
