I spent a period with a hedge fund doing grunt work and most of what they were doing was based in QQQ options. After I finally got the hang of it, one day I mentioned to my super that the spread he was using didn't quite look like what I thought he wanted and that was what we had been doing for weeks. I think he had just realized that a few minutes before. I can't find their website online anymore.

Well I bought $10,000 worth of those calls and they are now worth about $4,000. Should I sell now, double down, or just sit tight.
By the way I don't blame you, I thought the market was going to go up and it has gone down. |

By the way, I got bored this morning so I bought some OEX Nov. 700's. Paid 4.90 and they promptly went down to 4.00. It wasn't an investment, I got bored and did some gambling.
P.S. This is gambling and I strongly urge no one else to do this. Besides I just looked and they are now $5.40. |

Greed kills. My GOOG was up 105% before today's bloodbath. Should have sold.

My OEX's went from $5 to $4 to $5.80 clear down to $2.20 when the market was down 200. They closed at $3.40. I hope for a good opening and hope I can get out even. I got all the adrelin rush I needed for a day or two. |
