sold half of my position in CTRP and sold my entire position in GOL. Hate to make my portfolio more American-centric, but that's life. Sold GOL because I bought it on a tip and never realy understood why I owned it, sold CTRP on rebalancing and valuation concerns - will get back into it if it dips, and if not, I don't need such a large percentage of my portfolio on one horse with a 95 P/E.

May buy forum favorite DSUP if it gets back down to 7.

Went out of town for a few days to relax and came back to a screwy market. My ZMH investigation was nothing short of dumfounding, can't believe they missed so badly. Had a downside sell order in place for it while I was gone and thankfully it executed but man does that stock need some serious help.

My NILE Oct options expired so I still own it, sold Nov 85 covered calls this morning. Thinking about keeping this stock for a while, I'm liking the way it seems to trade in a good range around the $80 mark lately. Have been doing the same thing since I purchased UA and that has been profitable.

Well now on to my BAC, at least they fired someone lol, anyway I suppose I'll have to be satisfied with it's dividend yield unless the FED surprises us all next week with some more voodoo magic incantation like last month.

Im a little confused as there seems to be some arbitrage situations in S&P puts which should be impossible.

Check out the bid/asks on dec 1400 puts on sxz and sfb (same index but reduced by 10)

nm, I see the ask in the SPY moved to the bid in the sfb, but for 3-4 minutes there you could have made a risk free profit, kinda cool. If only my account would allow me to write calls/puts

WM is in the same boat as subprime mortgagers. Cramer, among others, thinks there's a good chance they won't survive.
