smudge, truly LOL with your post #1422...
Although having recently graduated from "Trash Talking 101" at Bobz, can't honestly say that I've been fully converted as of yet to one who attains pleasure from buying Puts and hoping to rain on someone elses parade.
But have to admit that the release of trading restrictions of late have allowed me to short term trade a few Calls during the past week, including the Lucent Jan 20 Calls and bouncing the INTC Jan 40 Calls, the latter thankfully giving me an "Amazon Reaction" this morning to the bad earnings news last night.
