Here's a trade.

Buy the Sept $17.50 PUTs of YGE ticker: YGEUW for $1.35. When it falls back to $15 you'll double your money.

I'll give you $100K right now if you can return even 50% a quarter. You can keep the other 50%.
Done. Do you want to wire that into my account? I can send you the instructions.

environmental snapshot:

discount rate at 2%. fed signals it will go no lower, possibly go higher.
this keeps current inflation in check and the value of the dollar can only go up.

although rate is low, credit is still hard to come by. thus capital investments are still low and the economy will be slow to comeback.

with the possibibility of strengthening dollar combined with recessionary environment consumption demand goes down, commodities - oil, metals, minerals go down....along with other foreign currencies.

what sectors win and lose?

sold wfc 29.35 and kft for 32.52 for 5% and 6% gains. i ll take it.

Should I keep my SKF hedge on the table?
I put a sell stop on it today. The market is just acting way too optimistic again with the banks.

I'm actually semi-serious but we can do this for real.
I can even give you more of the profits, how about just double my money in 1 year, you keep the rest (over $1mil profit for you if you can double the money every quarter).
I'll have to talk with my lawyer bout this but I'm thinking something along the lines of I deposit $100,000 to your bank account on sep 1 2008. You promise to deposit $200,000 to my bank account the next year on sep 1 2009. It doesn't matter to me how much you make or lose in my point of view....I'll be very happy with a 100% guaranteed rate of return

I need to learn how to play with options. I think I might need to talk to my brokerage firm on how it works.
