What a lame, boring trading day. This is getting to be a grind again, I’m sorry to say. The only bright spot was my (lucky/cowardly/wise) fleeing of my Sept. 16 SPY puts, which yielded me an overnight 25% profit. By day’s end, those puts were worth about HALF what I sold them at. I think I got the “short-dated options” bug out of my system. It isn’t worth the anxiety.
As I look at the SPY, the top is still firmly in place, but for cryin’ out loud, I wish the market would start crumbling again. This green arrow business is for the birds.
