I am selling puts today but I'm still nervous

[william the wie]

The panic is still going on. All four issues should either put me in a high yield issue with a net buy rated issue or pay me a great yield on expiration the only cloud in my sky is the fear that the banks are running out of liquidity.

How about you?

How much are you losing on the short puts you already had on?

Melange tea?

My real estate position is liquidating at the end of the month ... crap ... 6% is going to hard to find in today's market ... I'm old so risk adverse, gold prices has already responded ... casino gambling is looking good right now compared to equities [giggle] ... I'm leaning towards a 2-pack a day cigarette habit and just die before the money runs out ...

Only four issues met my criteria, that's what makes me nervous I feel like I am overscreening because the premiums I am getting for puts are insane. based on call premiums I could get something north of 100% returns in two weeks and then go into afterburner

How about you?

I am buying equities in small tranches and will continue to do so on high volatility down days. I had adjusted my asset allocation from 60/40 to approx 20/80 over the last 3 years. So I have a ton of dry powder.

I like VDE (vanguard energy etf) for a long term counter-intuitive play, but am only taking a small position for now. My favorite equity fund is VDIGX (vanguard dividend growth) so I am adding to it as of today and will continue to add until I get back to my preferred 60/40 allocation. I am not trying to catch a bottom, just taking advantage of what I believe will be a very good long term investment.
