  1. It's true...fear of missing out on the rally trumps fear of downside risk...remarkable

  5. yes, I will never underestimate how one quarter has absolutely no bearing on the next..literally I could feel the entire vibe of the market change around the end of last week.

  6. Is Yellen going to create another 1999? The markets are gaming the hell out of her.

    The good news: My Oct 09 ES 2000 calls went ITM with less than 1 day to expiration.
    The bad news: I sold them too early for only about a 100$ gain.

    You'd think given your UWTI experience you'd better understand why averaging down on your biggest losers is a foolish technique. "Cost average" is irrelevant, every new buy has to be evaluated as a separate trade, and simply buying more doesn't make you better off.

  10. my call hedges always work out great...its too bad they just offset how much I hemorrhage in the puts. :(
