Interesting thing is what vols are doing to the credits. At the bottom of the big drop the other day, the bear calls I am looking at were priced the same as they are right now. Collapse in vols is completely eliminating the effect of the positive print.:eek:

Quote from Heatheranderson:
I opened 20 SPX 1350/1360 July bear call spreads for a credit of $0.70.Even with fed meeting and a cause for a pause, i doubt we will reach 1350 in 6 weeks.
That's just over 1sigma out. Further than I was going to go if it makes you feel better.

We break 1300 next week, then some great news comes out of the CPI/PPI/Beige Book reports during the following week and you are in alot of pain scrambling. 50 days is a long time away and while we may be due for a pullback, we are still 40 points below our highs.
Are we going to rally that hard? probably not but i would say it isnt as unlikely as it sounds. If you look at past price action and what happens when we have a nice correction, you will see it isnt too much of a stretch to see SPX at 1350 before july is over.
Agreed, but I already have some bear puts. Had considered legging into so bull puts.

you made so many adjustments this month that i lost track of what you have or dont have LOL :eek:
(another reason to seek better commissions)
LOL... nah, most of it was just trying to get filled. A little Levi Lovin'.... all the work with none of the reward.
In the end I just converted a bull put vertical to a b-fly, then converted the flies into bear puts.
I have decided to dramatically curtail my involvement in this thread (probably will drop out). Probably few will care, but for anyone who is interested, here are my feelings:
1) The thread is becoming less and less informative. It is now essentially an instant messaging service for a select few.
2) For the followers of the CTM strategy instead of following common courtesy and starting their own thread (as per MoMoney's suggestion), they have pretty much taken over this thread and therefore it is of less interest to me.
3) Coach clearly doesn't have time for the thread (for obvious reasons) and I suspect has lost interest (who can blame him).
At any rate, I wish all of you good and profitable trading.
