"The noose is tightening. That's what I used to say to myself when I was on the wrong side of the market -- particularly, the short side of the market. And believe me there is nothing worse than being on the short side of the market when you only have 59 more days to generate performance." - Jim Cramer

As usual, the easiest way to make it back is to get on the horses that are leaders. What I did with 59 days left is figure out which companies were going to have the best quarters (e.g., Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Salesforce.com (CRM)) and which ones had already had the great quarters (e.g., Nike (NKE) and General Mills (GIS)), and I would buy gigantic positions in deep-in-the-money calls dated January. That way, I had the exposure I needed.
