Market Update

I have blown out of all my long positions but TTWO, even my beloved PCR position. I have seller's remorse; however, I don't like the tape and my gut tells me I can buy everything back cheaper.

I bought some FAZ today, simply because I think this run was nice but it is just about over. In addition, I want to protect my gains, so my cash position in the trading account is very high.

I might scale into SDS more and if we retest the lows, it can easily print $115. The market can go either way here, so I lean more to the short side, than the long side, and want to sit this one out.

Update II: Bought 25 more SDS @$90.30

Words of Wisdom: Bigger positions, use smaller stops. Smaller positions, use larger stops.

  2. Craig,

    Thanks for the comment. I would keep an eye on the SSO puts. I covered my naked puts at $0.10 and now they are selling at $0.08. For a tight trade, I would buy the SSO $15 March Put for $0.08 and get a nice move. I might do this myself..
