  5. I think you're mistaken. I accepted yesterday. I believe it was prudent to wait until the market was near to closing before gloating. It's moot, as you'll always lose. Next time I suggest you roll over until the urge, or gas, passes peacefully under the sheets.

  7. riskarb,

    Good Call...

    got squeezed out with some profits but not as much as a once had :mad:

    were you the one who called the market 'coiled spring'?

    exactly what happened...

    Now the question is... it's a new month... do we roll over now or in another week or 2?

  8. Yeah, the coiled spring comment was mine. You know what they say, "sun shines on a dog's ass..." I went flat today, other than some upside hedges in Dax. I don't see a lot of movement over the next week with Labor Day. Certainly wouldn't short into LD due to lack of liquidity and vol. It's a seasonally-strong event as well.
