New calls opened
#SPXcampaign STO $SPX Jan 8th 2030/2055 call spreads for 1.30. Adding this hedge against a couple of put spreads, 1970/1945 and 1940/1915. Hoping the SPX waits until next week to take its big dive.

NFLX – someone lit a fire under NFLX (up 9). I’m glad I’m short more puts than calls.
The $DJIA just dropped to a new LOD however.
Wacky market 🙂

UVXY call spreads #IRA
Replacing some Jan’s that should expire next week in the #IRA …
Sold UVXY FEB 19 2016 45/55 Bear call spreads @ 1.20
/ES #Eminis
I’m short an emini with a basis of 2042.50 that’s covered by a 2020 put. This will probably get exercised this week so need to re-establish this hedge but at a much higher level. On the little bounce this morning:
SOLD /ES FEB 16 2040 CALL @ 22.75
Figuring if we get up to that level I’ll take the short position and cover it with a put to end up with a basis near 2090. By then SVXY should be rockin’…if not then I pocket a few shekels.
