This is a pretty severe sell off...

P/C went lower with the decline, is it people selling their calls or adding to their positions?!?


People may be selling calls. I definitely sold quite a few today on the longs that I wanted to keep.

No crystal ball of course, but I'm thinking some issues may be putting in emotional bottoms here.

This thing had a fast 20% decline from the recent highs, while crude oil hasn't gone down much from the highs two days ago. Yielded over 15% today at the lows, and I got some more and like it for a long term hold. Good worldwide energy market and all...

Many issues and indices may have much farther to fall but I'm looking for things to be "bottomy" in many areas rather than "toppy."


Best,

Doug

The market is oversold, the problem is there is still 20 minutes to close...
