everyone adding to my worries over what otherwise would have been a tranquil weekend

on the one hand:
premises
- gold topping out
- oil topping out
- financials bottomed
- commodities have had it
- inflation remains under control and will be tamed naturally by market force and cb draining
- russell says transports not confirming bear market

in other words, everything i hold dear will be toast, and all that i despise will walk all over me.

on the second hand, i got some positions that confuse me, short naked puts with one date stamp on ultra short etfs that some in turn has been obligated via short covered calls date stamped different from the naked puts

and even ultra double long as well as ultra double short on unnatural paper gold stored nowhere, backed by just possibly bankrupt german bank

perhaps i should buy some puts of other dates and long some calls or get less naked and more covered or something

on the one foot, we are supposed to let the winners run on

on the other foot, we are also suppose to ignore the wall of worries

what to do what to do

the gains are some what large and noticeable, and i do fear and so fret
