so it is finally time to cash in, whew !!!!! nice. i only caught it from $23 to $18 or around there. i imagine you got a few more points than me.
i also enjoyed the downside on SPG. i was too weak to buy the puts but i shorted by writing some calls. kicking myself a little bit but a gain is gain. i'll take it. i was also too weak to buy the SRS as you mentioned, missed opportunity.
for the ponies, we have TVG. horse racing channel on TV plus online betting available (tvg.com). it is the best. if you don't get the channel on TV, you can watch the races live on the net. good luck and enjoy.
