Lessee, who was it on this forum about 2 years ago who said that? Oh yeah, me!!! :woohoo:
Old School Said: I guess you were right. Did you short the market?
In a few select picks. Mostly I chose calls on LEAPs options that should do well if the economy tanks and/or oil goes up: USO. I think Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities, and I think they should. I think they have to. If diesel is going to then cost me $9/gal, I want to have hedged against that with USO options.
Before someone jumps on me, I seldom bet against our own economy. I'm not that comfy about doing so, but the direction Obama is taking us have a very clear outcome and since I can't do anything about that, I might as well try to accumulate a few bucks from it to weather the storm.
