haha no doubt! 4.5pts on the day is all I got, but hey its a positive day, so I am happy. But I am working from home today and have only been watching the chart a small portion of that time. I missed all the big moves...of course.
Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

Kinda crazy to think that we are sitting at unchanged after all the fireworks off of the lows.
Thats true, this fighter jet incident happened just prior to very low volume and closed days in NY/Chicago markets. Wednesday (Nov 25) always very low volume before Thanksgiving and then closed on Thursday (Nov 26) and closed at 1pm NY time (18:00 London) on Friday which is even lower volume.
Futures were literally skipping thru levels at times...A little bit like an overnight ramp with Abe or Draghi on deck...
Its been kinda quiet during Hong Kong/Shanghai session lately...if crude ramps a bit it could get more interesting overnight
Its usually always interesting overnight during Asia session when US has holidays
kommissar, whats your take on the fact that SPX, NDX staying higher and seemed to be almost pulled upward whereas RUT/ IWM holdind down near Aug lows?
Gotta love zero risk selling calls?

2000 Russell stocks that have an assortment of badly damaged energy stocks, some biotech stocks that have been whipsawing around, etc...plus alot of the junk bond or "high yield" debt that has been in the tank has affected a number of those Russell 2000 components...I was shorting that index in the summer and overstayed my welcome thru the first week of October...but haven't touched it in recent weeks.
I can still see the technical nature of this market when I'm viewing it without bias..i.e. this thing does enter a "predictive state" often enough to be worthwhile, but there are certainly days that test my patience since it can shift between the slow rolling chop back to the zig-zagging high volatility type movement...I'm better off putting in the orders and not watching it...
