The Inexplicable Fajita

By -

First off, I’ve been following the events with respect to MIT and Boston last night and today; it is terribly tragic that an officer was gunned down by one of these two maniacs (who is dead now himself; at least we’ll save the expense of a trail). As of this writing, I think they’ve got the 2nd guy, or else they are very close to doing so. Hurrah for effective investigation and law enforcement! Hats off to all involved, and best wishes to all those in the Boston area who have been having to deal with this tension and aftershock.

On a much less interesting note………..I obviously took it right up the avocado on my CMG short and puts. The short loss was small, but the put loss, percentage wise, was obviously substantial. I’m not going to touch this thing again until it closes its gap. It’s a monster.
