I also did the same thing, I got stopped out of the shares replaced with a small amount of calls, this reduced the risk in terms of a large correction on the capital to capture a speculative run up instead...

I think 8/1 low gets tested, and you will get a bounce... my target is just under 46 by/on 8/8(wierd wally wed)... Nasdaq @2425.

Yuri, Does this decline in any way equal to the same decline we had in March?.....Your chart tried to compare the two.....Look here.....

interesting posts as always youmast, but i am not following as to why you bought trhe calls 3 days in advance? insurance in case you are off by 3 days? because you have been mentioning the 8/8 bottom for a while....

I am also targeting August 8th, but for other technical reasons... Basically, since I trade Nasdaq the situation is a little different. We had 6 down days in a row, which turns the trend down by my definition. So while I expect a bounce off a deep low (almost a hundred more Nasdaq points down by Wednesday)... And I may even cautiously go long there, now the Nasdaq has a lot to prove on the daily before I do anything more than Short term intraday bounce longs...
