i know , i didnt get many fnm puts, but i still got sds calls and expect a pull back. , fnm could fall just as easy as it rises by sep19 too.

but this marked is so hyped up its funny, everybody is stupid. later this year or early next it all goes to shit. :)

Option Activity Alert: Call Buying Picks Up on XL Capital Ltd.

correction, my puts on FNM still selling, just at half, weird how that works. people still want them, either for protection or becasue they know it shouldnt have popped by this much.

Volume 4,177

IF I get my pullback tomorrow, i will sell my SDS calls and probably go into XL calls.

altho i don't know, xl scares me, it's been going up up up, might not jump on a moving train.
