#LongPutSpreads – Bought an emini 3460/3060 put spread for April monthly. 1700 bucks it cost me but makes 18,300 max if things really get ugly. Bought the long strike at the 200 day and then just sold way under it to reduce cost. As much as it pains me to actually buy something it is cheap insurance. I’ll just take it out of realized gains for the year if I have to since it’s been a great two months to start the year.
