... sometimes a moment of silent reflection is warranted ;

I don't think running out of money applies, because lots of long where opened. Only 1 short was opened (early on).

What is the logic? for opening long after long and short after short? I mean the particular set up that Kayvan is using...

Please remember that I have only kept a cursory eye on the options development here, but maybe by trying to explain things to me, you guys will figure out why or how it misbehaves for Kayvan....
