A lot better than I feel about my GOOG 720 calls right now that expire next friday. At least I covered all My CSCO losses and most of what I can lose of the GOOG calls today by selling my GS calls when they went up enough.

Sold my RIMM puts so I am freerolling on my 120 calls, got one week to see if RIMM can get over the $118 hump which should break me out of them.

As to your question I hope you caught the downswing on the FXI today, I am now thinking it is low enough to jump in.

Got back into ETFC at just under $9 per share, if they screw me again I am done with them but really can't see it going much lower than this.

I know Jimbo can't read this because he put me on ignore, but this is what happens when you don't do your homework:

These financial stocks have no more earnings. These p/e ratios that you see on yahoo finance are based on yesterdays earnings, not tomorrows.

New Graphics Chips

Gogogo AMD!

I'm so glad they got these to market.

I purchased 640 Dec calls (GOOLH) today for $26.40 each. These should become very valuable long before expiration. Just to be safe I did buy half as many Dec 630 puts as my 640 calls but still expect my money to be made on the upside.

Even better that 8800GTs are likely to have production delays. GOGOGOGO consumers!! IMO I think AMD is still [censored] in the processor space for now...

Jimbo, did you eat banana with your GOOG Nov 720 and RIMM Nov 120 calls?

My Goog 720's expired. Rimm bounced enough this past week to get me out of them with a small loss.
