I tried XOM calls but it didn't work. It looks like oil may already be priced in. Made a little on GDX options but it's starting to look very toppy as well. Nobody know what's gonna happen next. This could very well just be a bluff and no war escalates.
%% Good points/especially the last day of the month \usually. 2014 stock Traders Almanac has FEB with a negative % gain\ FEB crept barely average positive over the years from 2014. See what happens around 200dma
It's just a preview imo for Oil, Nat Gas, and Gold/Silver. Guess we'll see but the earnings reports are so good in Cdn energy it might not matter free call on higher Oil. I wouldn't touch QQQ yet in either direction.
Yesterday was a good day to short russian ETFs. By the way, the Moscow exchange halted all trading due to the crash today (yes on ALL MARKETS).
