For the record

Here it is.....

Short MER
I have puts in both MER and BAC for a few reasons. First, I don't believe BAC can go through with this merger successfully without taking an equity hit. Not only did they buy MER for too large of a premium, but they still have troubles from the CountryWide acquisition. I think A LOT hinges on this $700B bailout and it doesn't look good at the moment. I feel that BAC had advanced notice on this bailout from the Treasury so that is why they paid the premium they did.

Regardless, the market is still extremely bearish until the kinks work themselves out ON THEIR OWN. "
