    RC: Thanks for introducing me to DPS. I bought the Feb 2009 – 25 calls back in mid August when they were Deep out of the money. Pay day today.

    Not sure whether to hold long term term though ? Or take some profits.

    Big bark, but little bite. There is no well defined eye, and the outflows are loosening. The interior wall broke down this morning allowing alot of dry air in, further weakening the center of circulation. We’ll see. Still some time before landfall.

    Someone was asking me why the unholy Mall and office REITs (SPG, VNO, etc) are still alive.

    The answer is, they are still hard assets that will retain value in a shit dollar environment, like gold and silver.

    The dollar is taking a hit today, thus…

    Rumors of buyouts, now there are rumors of no buyouts. Stick around for the fun 🙂

    caj – CNBC mentioned WM is in advanced talks with JPM to be bought out. BTW WM is nations 6th largest in terms of deposits and they have a lot of branches, real estate, etc. trading at $3 right now. ooops, Faber just said JPM is denying this. Who knows?

    Figured.

    I left with bill miller going through the floor, and get back to a super spike– I was worried for a second.

    Thanks for the response guys.

    I took LM short 4.10-3.50. That’s about all I’ve got that was nice today. A lot headed into this weekend. Ike, Oil trying to break $100, Wamu and Lehman buyout talks, etc. I’m staying cash. SKF’s action has been nuts. I thought I got fucked yesterday..today would have been a nightmare.

    Cash seems to be the best thing at the moment.

    I’m impressed with the action in GOOG today, I think the stock may have bottomed around the 410 mark.

    We’ll see.

    I liked Google 436-440, missed the entry and didn’t chase it. Way to buy it regardless of everyone else’s opinions. I read your blog every day RC. My condolences to your lost friend (I’m getting married next month myself and I really feel for you). Way to keep trading and fighting for profit in this market! Glad Ike passed you bye. Two hurricanes in two weeks would really suck. I’m happy with the occasional quake out here in California and I’ve been through all the big ones except the ’89 one in S.F.
