The Real Year Begins

I've been pretty sick lately, so it was quite a sight this morning to see me in bed at 4:30 a.m., looking like death warmed over, going through my charts. I imagine that'll how they'll find me at 85 years old, permanently expired, with a laptop on my belly.

Here are a few stocks whose puts I am buying this morning.

I'm mildly bearish right now, and I closed out some longs to free up cash for shorts that I want to acquire. Unfortunately, I think things will continue to be choppy, so I'm going to stay long/short hedged instead of going great-guns-bearish.
