Without knowing position and account size it’s impossible to know his actual return. He is really just long the s&p 500, we don’t know if it’s leveraged or not. If he’s long 5 cars in a $2,000,000 account with the rest in cash he would be underperforming the benchmark. No one knows and none ones business.

It's immaterial to this journal as to what my ROI is. --All I desire is to show what can be accomplished with a hands off approach. --Rest assured that I am beating the market.

Thin to win. The market took all the month end selling yesterday and still ripped to new highs. Without a catalyst shorting all time highs around any light volume, holiday period is not advisable.

You've come up with the goods. This is what MSurfer could not understand---Trends rarely get broken quickly.

Once I get my shorts filled,

Glad I am unable to see this unfortunate event.

 

[Buy1Sell2]

yeah...consolidation. A good time for profit taking and risk balancing. Some single names still looking really attractive though.

Vague, please enlighten a bit.

Vague, please enlighten a bit.

Risk rebalancing and profit taking took the form of selling deep ITM contracts and replacing them with equal delta OTM positions. Some of the single names were SQ, TWTR, FTNT, FDC, CGC, VRSN, FEYE. There were others too, but those are the one I was in or got fills on.

This is shaping up to be like a fed day with the anticipation of trade announcements. Not a day to try to make your nut once volumes go to sleep after noon.
