    How would you take insurance out overnight?

    To me there's only 2 ways, cover all of your position or part of it or buy some calls/puts.

    If you do the first then you don't really have a position at all.

    If you do the second then the cost of doing business will eat you alive.

    To me people tend to think that the risks of holding positions overnight are high, they're not over a period of time.

    If a nuke goes off.

    Put your hands behind your head.
    Your head behind your knees.
    And kiss your ass goodbye.

  10. I often wonder about Swing traders and 9/11.
    Did they all get hammered?
    Did the smart ones hold onto their longs knowing
    it was an overreaction and got their money back?
    Did the smart ones cut their losses quick?

    Or do swing traders attempt to have their longs balanced
    by an equal number of shorts so big events have little effect?

    I think that would be the way to go if you have enough
    trades to choose from to keep you in balance.

    peace
