October

Well first of the month and most hedge funds will be posting there performances to their clients. Alot of hedge funds have been getting crushed and I assume some will want to pull there funds as things are getting more and more unsure as we go on. Lets see how we react today and possibly tomorrow on a bailout plan.

One roller coaster

This is one roller coaster market. Down yesterday by the worst absolute amount ever on the DOW and second for the S&P. Now today we are up huge, 400+ as I write and S&P might have its best day in 5 years. This is just crazy.
Tomorrow is first of the month and I would love to see us push alittle higher into the pending redrafting of the financial bail out bill.


Talk to you tomorrow

TRADE CALL :CITIBANK PUTS

Risky play- but I believe citibank is just buying time before it goes to $10.

buying the Nov $22.50 puts here. @4.10.
