    My hedge puts are usually about 60 days out and I roll 'em out before 30 days out.

    Vol is very high but on any major rallies, I look to try to roll 'em and pay through the nose. Am I just flushing money down the toilet, most likely YES. But I'm happier hedged than being sorry and gettin' zero'd out on a black swan event.

    1st place I ever lived on my own was near the freedom trail. I sometimes go by symphony/northeastern. It's quite an student area with cheap eats, good concert halls and a big indoor shopping mall.

    I liked pretty much everything in Boston - it's a cool place.

    Daily P&L -5901 - had some META trouble but also trouble across the board today.
    Yearly P&L - 88530 (ouch).
    At least options trade "normal" again - hope I don't get steamrolled with Apple tonight - as long as it stays above 135 I should be good though

    Weekly P&L 13775 - solid week in total with two major down days. Today everything worked (market up, vol down, Friday) but in general things are looking better. Obviously performance is lacking but somehow I think my account lows are in (famous last words :)). Monday the account closed at -99051, today at -80543. Risk is half of what I usually trade but it definitely helps with the draw down stress :)

    You didn't like the way the roads were laid out while driving through it. If you claim you did, you were in an alternate universe, heh.

    I grew up in Germany - compared to that Boston roads are awesome :)
