nice of you to stick around Nav -
they are long equity callls - 215 at isee, but pretty long puts on indices - 59 today - same kind of skew yesterday.
think they want to get a dbl top on es around 1148 before the fun tomorrow.
closed the 1143 short last night for a big mac meal

Been steadily long TNA, BGU since buy signal early November. Also long DGP, average price around 27.
Sell some TNA on bounces to resistance and buy some back on AM swoons.
Expect higher prices soon, and then a pause.

speaking of isee - C has been in the top bullish (calls >puts) for the past few days - anyone have an inkling on this?
also, MS and the european banks are doing noticably worse than the big US banksters... i am worried GS is going to squeeze out MS one day.

Been short for a coupla weeks now and added along the way...short volatility that is. Tomorrow is payday
Btw, FF for tomorrow.....mkt reaction to INTC will be a fade...JPM news will reverse the fake break...and end net flat between the 2. When the boyz kill vol, market goes nowhere (at least intraday)....

The DOW options players are evenly split. The OEX options players are slightly more bearish than bullish, but no heavy tilt. But the price action looks setup for a move higher (not necessarily a gap-up), the reasons which i explained in my other thread below. Very interesting ...

IMO, most here are NOT gonna carry much of a naked position into the stuff tonite. Only longs from much lower, will confidently say they are holding.
