re: Whats the next event that could send the markets back down to the 3500 level or lower??

I have 4 TLT call positions, the ones I bought in sept are up like 6% and 5% now after being down huge, had me sweating. The ones I bought last week are up 70% and 20% so yea, I feel uneasy with this much green these days, you're probably right. Shoulda took some profits yesterday, will probably be how I feel a week from now.

Altho jobless claims today
