We’ve sold a number of puts in some names we’d buy if  it reaches our price targets.  Wednesday, 6-13 will be an interesting day as the market probes new recent lows.  We are picking up more Dresser Rand, DRC which was recently highlighted in Bloomberg as a likely takeover candidate.  We’ve been in an out of this name twice in the last ninety days and welcome the third time.
