in regards to the stock, tell me about it.
flat price me thinks we go nowhere for a while. think the next push down doesnt come again until late october. im buying z 300/250 put spread for 11. still looking for 3.1 by end of season. probably 2.95-3.0 for nov 31. who wants baseload gas for dec in that scenario?
aga's... think high 70's is neutral the market. if it comes out 70-85 you can shit on vol. that'd be good for me.

dont blame you-but my long straddle position worked great(30 vols in one
day-sorry im sure it was a tuff day for you hedged my merc short well). im
gonna try again this time altho at higher vol levels(bot some from magee). i
think if we get a aga less than 70 or more than 80 well see a big move.more
a gamma play this time.flat price im pretty neutral till i see the aga.
number shud come in around 81-82 ish but after last week who the hell knows.
im not bullish by eany means but the s&d has titened a bit on a relative
basis. if i dont see 80 ish injections ill be neutral and be trading more
short term and opportunistic than previous.
man the enron stx getting smoked-they better pay you more cash this year
and save the options, or at least give you some lower strikes.

With skilling gone I move up one spot...from 147th to 146th.

This market sucks!! Right back where we were before the # last week. I
have so little interest right now. just glad i held onto the short
straddle position. wish i had something intelligent to say but i don't.
