I am slowly covering my puts as they get close to expiration. I don’t want to be too bearish but, if interest rates continue higher, this market is vulnerable.

STO March 9, 172.5 calls @ .60 cents replacing the 170 calls that expired on Friday. I have 97 more weeks to sell weekly calls.

The chart is not looking good this morning so, I rolled the March 9, 177.5 calls down to the March 16, 175 calls for a credit of .37 cents on my 2020 Fuzzy.

My weekly hedge of March 2, 170 call will expire so I will sell the March 9 call on Monday which I hope will be the 175 call. That is it for this week Have a nice weekend to everyone. The call was against my 160,160,155 in 2020.

I am thinking of putting on a bearish Fuzzy trade on QQQ or TQQQ if we get a good bounce next week. Any thoughts?
