Nearly impossible to wait... see AXL. Day later one would have got only $3 to $3.20

I blew it on SKF strategies. While I have a decent cost free options long position I capped it at SKF 135 by autumn. By today, I would have received the same cap at 145.

The easiest trades, are in my belief, writing far out of the money FAZ and FAS options. As FAZ and FAS both eat up their temporary gains in the grind which usually follows directional periods, those options will never ever be in the money. They paid implied volatilites at 180% to 240% something which FAZ and FAS won´t realise.
