Gregarious Gap

By -

It seems like quite a dull day so far. I went ahead and ditched my GDX and GLD puts at a pint-sized profit, and I’ve trimmed back here and there to build my cash up to 10.1%. I think I’ll be doing no other trades today. What’s key at this point is the price gap on the SPY which, thank the market gods, we’ve stayed beneath. I’m planning to be on my first vacation of the century in a few weeks, so I’d appreciate it if the market could blow up so I could get out of my positions and take it easy!
