Well, it looks like this morning’s modest sell-off is already wrecked, so let’s turn our attention to something specific: the man in the brown truck. United Parcel Service had a big price gap between the 15th and 16th of September which it has just about closed. I’ve already entered a starter position (April 21 $200 puts) and will augment it as we push closer to the gap.

I realize how insane shorting anything must seem now, but I offer to you three charts with gargantuan tops that, thanks to recent price ascents, have intriguing risk/reward ratios. I’ve got puts already on NOW and MDB and am going to hold off on TTWO for now, waiting for a move closer to the gap.
