SPX run up
Ok, so I left the computer about 10 minutes after my last post and came back to see that you “guys” ran the index up 10+ points to a new high! As my granddaughter used to say about the unexpected, ” whaa hop’ng?”
Good thing I unloaded my Dec 16 2245/2270 call spread @ 1.1o, sold at 1.30 Dec 2 earlier today. I’m thinking that not even 35 points is a good enough cushion anymore on the call side.
Now, if you wouldn’t mind dialing it back somewhat… ;-}
