Thanks for asking. The stock market today did not suffer many of the calamities that were being prophesied, the DOW off less than one percent! I was not able to get in on financial put options since the market gapped down significantly for most financials at the open....Friday would have been a better day to get in on those. I believe financials are now bottoming out as I expected.

I did buy Washington Mutual call options today...that is a speculation since WM is one of the weaker banks. After a few days more (taking into account what the investment bank CEO's say over the next couple of days) I think some of these stronger financials may be a great buy and I will most likely step in for the longer term though next week could be better timing.

Also, refinieries could be a great buy here as the oil bubble begins to pop. I wish I had more cash for one of those.

All the best.
