not as many as i used to have. But i still hold July $45 puts.
I have a spreadsheet ready to go, that has all my bets against financials on it. I had BSC puts, GS puts, LEH puts, and SKF. I'm going to see what everything opens at today, and take a look at the "could have been" profit, if I had held everything until today. It might be a million dollars, fueled mostly by the BSC puts. right now, I have only my few LEH puts left and some SKF.

I had March LEH 45s at around $1.00 - traded at $19 this morning
I had April LEH $50s at around $2.30 - traded at $26 this morning
i had April LEH $55s at around $3.2 - traded at $30 this morning
I had April BSC $65 puts at $4.5 - traded at $77 this morning
I sold all above for profits, but nothing like it could have been.
The only thing I hold are July LEH $45 puts at $5.6 - traded at $20 this morning. I still hold. They are at $16.3 now.
I can't believe the Dow is green right now!
I bought march $25 Puts on LEH today, @ $3.00 when LEH was at $34. Just sold at $6.30.

March 17 (Bloomberg) -- MF Global Ltd., the largest broker of exchange-traded futures and options, fell as much as 80 percent in New York trading on speculation clients are pulling money and as financial shares dropped to their lowest level in almost five years.
``There are concerns that their commodities prime brokerage group customers are pulling money out,'' said Michael Nasto, senior trader at U.S. Global Investors Inc., which manages $5 billion in San Antonio. ``The customers have concerns about the financial stability of the firm.''
Spokeswoman Diana DeSocio didn't immediately return a call for comment.
MF Global, based in Hamilton, Bermuda, fell $11.85 to $5.50 as of 11:55 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, after falling as low as $3.64. The shares are down more than 80 percent this year.
The stock dropped 45 percent over two days last month after one of the company's traders lost $141.5 million on what the company said were unauthorized wheat futures trades. The plunge today came after Bear Stearns Cos. agreed to be acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $2 a share because a cash shortage threatened to bankrupt the company.
Other brokers also declined today. Interactive Brokers Group Inc., the securities firm that handles about a fifth of options bought and sold in the U.S., fell 26 percent. New York-based derivatives broker GFI Group Inc. fell 41 percent.
