Opex already started? Not sure. Traded some SPY puts for a quick profit but no other trades today, the action is just to iffy.  Tomorrow is the first weekly opex of 2011, and with so many weeklies trading I'm going to avoid anything but quick scalps.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of new improved smileys!  |

snowing here, slippery.
I'm still holding those fas puts and I added spy puts at the end here.
opexy.
that's a fact jack. (think Bill Murray).
my decision to add puts was because:
fins look weak, iyr looks weak, rut looks weak, djt looks weak.
slippery.

Pretty much a nothing day for me. I completed an LVS scalp, watched the price drop a bit and watched time to decay. Wrote another weekly put. Also sold a few more BPZ. Down about 1/4% but expect to be even when the FJPNX reports.

Took a position in MSPD. The connectivity business seems to be zooming ahead. It was after the runup, but the sector is hot now. Plan to wait for results.

Real LifeFFR was level at .18% - the more we stay under .20%, the worse the signs are for the bulls. It should be well above this level with the market sitting up here at SPX 1270. Lending is not looking good My FAZ was slightly green although still sits underwater by 5% (avg $9.25) Monopoly World Big Cap - good day +2.3%, account closed at a new high since inception; this is the squid at its finest because I've been short biased for this last 5% the market moved up Sells: (all remaining) YOKU @ $39.10 & $39.15 / +7% on this batch, +4.2% on the overall trade... this is a huge move from the unrealized > -20% / > -$100K I had on it at one point, and I'll take it Buys: (add) DANG $27.30 / now 3x long position avg $28.45 unrealized -2% Short: (add) AAPL $334.65 / now 3x short avg $327.59 unrealized -1.9% (add) LVS $47.55 / now 6x short avg $45.70 unrealized -4.2% I am now 92% short, 8% long scalp trades - ok day +1.6%, FAZ still way underwater... Options Acct - decent day, +5% but still way underwater on the SPY $126 Jan puts All in all, accounts were +2.2%
