Bought 1 more PUT this morning, just before SPY peaked at 177.64:

*11/07/13:
BUY +1 SPY 100 DEC 13 (43 days) 174 PUT @1.85 LMT
SPY @177.58
Cost of Trade: $185.00 + $1.50 comm. = $186.50
Delta: -.33

Total Net Cost for 10 PUT Position: $1926.00 // Average SPY Price: 176.00

Looks like the long awaited Pullback began today.
The RSI & MACD Indicators also seem to confirm.
If so, will probably start Fading Out of the Position from SPY@173.00 downwards.

Quote from RichardRimes:

Nice timing and swing trading the last 30 days Cacti:)


You're very kind.
Wish I could say the same about the Markets!
Today I lost back all of yesterday's gains. Oh well...

But still looking for a SPY pullback to its 50 day MA.
We'll see what happens next week.
:)

Last week was a killer for owners of SPY Puts, to say the least.
After 6 Up-Weeks for SPY in a row, since hitting 164.53, was today's high of 180.50 the Top?

There's still 5 weeks to go until Expiration for SPY December Puts.
Will SPY descend to the 50 day MA, or lower, before then?
We'll see.
