Careful though.. its rare to be in puts and shorts in the same company (i.e. AMZN, EXDS etc) and have BOTH move up/down over 5 in one day. One thing I do notice is that the ones that hold out the best move the quickest at a rally. I should have entered CACS, PHCM when they were only over 1/2 point.. You also have to distinguish between oversold /overvalued (like the nets) and the Overbought/overvalued but with high EPS like the QLGC, LGTO and QCOM. Then you have to factor in more economic data coming in.. but it tend to a agree with misfiled in that even another rate hike is already factored in and when it comes it will bring about a longer rally, although I might trade a bit more during the day on a particularly rally/down day, (the GNET was a bad move) but it also led me to cast a sharper eye on the net sector, I was just about to sell the EXDS puts when the stock was down over 5 and yet all I got was 1 1/4 point, that resulted from the GNET, and then I just bought my favorite rally stocks "PHCM, YHOO, EXDS, but I couldn't get to EXDS it was too late by then also. I get out almost instantly not waiting even 3% when I don't like the way a trade is going.. like GNET puts I just know when I made a bad call within minutes, I'd rather misjudge a bad move that ends up going up without me than being stuck in that goes down 4-5 points. I won't hold a mass of stocks overnight. That's where I draw the line.
