Black Swan Monday

sold another 1/3 at 1867

 

Nice call!

100% up room to go, free money $$$

This "market" is quite entertaining.

 

out of everything, 68

 

Good call there though - I must admit, I'm surprised how robustly the market handled that news. Any time it does the complete opposite of what you expect, it's time to exit, so I'm out.

 

Black Swan Monday followed by Green Swing Tuesday....

 

more like 'ruffled feathers' Monday.
Watch out for Turkey Thursday.

 

If you had a feeling that Monday the 10th may be a big down day due to weekend events with Russia, what would be a low cost way to play it?

 

weekly puts on indices, crude oil calls maybe.

 

Do a ratio spread at $0 debit/credit. Your max loss would probably be around a drop of 2% IV.

 

Shit, not again!
