#ShortPuts #VXXGame – After selling those additional puts earlier this week I promised myself I’d thin the herd if things got dicey. Since I’m probably going to be long 100 shares this week from my 160/155 BuPS I’m playing it really safe. Still nice winners and reduces a lot of risk…and I absolutely hate seeing winners turn into losers.
