Paulson announcing plan at 10AM. Get a hedge on. It could go either way. I'd buy SPY puts or better, short it outright going into the press conference. You can always cover when you know where it's going. Buying the SKF works too but shorting the SPY or SDS doesn't use any capital only margin.

You have a margin account right??

Well the market is no longer "free". It is 100% run by the Fed.

Wow. My portfolio swung from down 8% on the year to up 9.36% on the year between going to sleep last night and waking up today.
