I am watching the ten year and if we get over 2.60 the next level will be 3%. I think that if we get over 3%, we will be in a bear market in bonds and that is not good for the stock market.

Could this be the start of correction?

Another up day in the market.

I wonder what the odds are for going another 11 months without a correction?

Adding to positions.

If we ever get a correction I want to put on this trade.

buy 2020 80 call

sell 2020 80 put

buy 2020 75 put

sell the weekly or monthly call. I figure that I would need .89 cents a week to pay for the trade.

Only 4 today but I have a big one on the 19th.

I see that COST made a new high today and I am amused at all those so called smart managers on Wall Street that sold the stock all the way down to $150 still have jobs. It just goes to show that some of those smart managers are just not as smart as they claim to be. I am still short puts in January and April and expect them to expire at zero.

I don’t know why we got volatility in the tech sector but I sure am happy we did. I am going to guess Net Neutrality but have no clue.

I unwound my TQQQ WIZ trade for a nice profit. I am a little nervous as usual. The trade was put on for a debit of 51.32 and the weekly calls reduced the cost basis to 48.12, and my credit today was 54.50 so a profit of 6.38, I got tired of trying to roll the weekly calls for a profit.
