    Congratulations! Our little girl is 8 months.

    I was leaning short until about 5 minutes ago, just had to flatten out. I would really like it if we found the upper end of the range around here.

  2. Congrats! Mine is about 5 weeks away and wife was admitted to the hospital for bed rest the last 5 weeks so my trading has also had to quiet down.

    Youy probably would not have to trade so much if you just put on the mid-June double barrier no touch on the S&P we discussed LOL..... you know I aint gonna let that crap die unless it actually would have lost money (then shhhhhhh). :)

  8. CME Straddle:

    Sold 50 CME June 450 synthetic straddles [short spot x 450p, 1x2] at 33%vol, $24.80 natural. I expect that we'll touch 30% vol within a week and hover within 12 handles of the 450 strike. Spot = $455-56 currently.
