$SVXY #ShortPuts – yesterday, knowing that the VIX was up 2 points, I put in a rolling order for Puts for this week. The quick morning rally is SVXY allowed the order to fill before 11am and then the stock just kept moving up. I’ll still take the profit on this week’s puts as I continue to lower the strike prices on my puts.
