From #ZeroHedge
For the 5th time this year, VIX spiked and was instantly crushed in the last week…
Fears of global thermonuclear war appear to have been rapidly dismissed…
Today’s market rebound as the perfect example for why the VIX gets slammed off its spikes so frequently.
We all want to live!!

#NYCPicnic – For those that are no longer members of SMM or OMM and did not see Gary’s message yesterday, the SMM/OMMPicnic will be SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2017.
Hopefully it will be a nice early fall day in Central Park.
I’m planning on being there and I hope others can arrange to travel to the #BigApple.
I’m sure that ALL will be welcomed, even if you’ve given up your membership. There will be no checking of your “papers” at the door.

$SVXY #LongStock – at 8:00 am, sold another bunch of SVXY @ 82.22 on a 82 limit order.
This was the lot of stock that got put to me at 80.50 Friday.
I’ve cut back on further covered call orders because I’ve covered up all my remaining long stock.
I may sell a few out of the money calls as speculation because I know the biggest risk (potential loss) for me is still a downside move in the stock below 81.
