Let’s hope. I’d like to retire in a couple of years!

“...Let’s hope. I’d like to retire in a couple of years!...”

I hear ya....I’m already retired and just play the market more as a hobby than anything else. I trade a lot of derivatives as well as stocks. I guess what really pees me off is that I saw this coming, and should have sold some of my higher stocks and then bought some PUTs against the stocks in the Dow. I almost did it a couple of weeks ago, but held out...my mistake. I did have a handful of PUTs against IBM & UPS that I did very well on the last couple of days, but not enough to offset the stock declines. So now, I’ll bargain shop for dividend stocks and will likely buy some long-term calls on the Dow 30 stocks. We’ll see how it plays out.
