How do you like this gap up, ( after closing on the lows )..
shit I feel lucky, after yesterdays sell off..
But not real lucky..I sold my QQQ and INTC already
and I'm going to work in the garden.

I'll look in from time to time, but I'm flat except
for my little HFCGX and I would love to see enough
of a rally for me to buy back the puts I sold.

( slippage and all makes puts sort of expensive )
I may just short the SPY..or buy some BRPIX
( an S&P bear fund 1 to 1 ) stay away from
the leveraged funds..your timing has to
be exceptional to get in/out of them
and come out ahead in the long run
as they go 2x on the day..it don't add
up to 2x over time expense eats
them up.
Better to get a flat 1 to 1 , and margin
it if you want leverage.

I'm out of here..in spite of her rally
I got my profit ...and will look in
latter to see if I go short.
