Next Week Trading (Mar 2nd - Revised):
SPY may consolidate and trade around 280 for a month or two. However, given slower economic growth and the SPY doji Friday, there may be a significant pullback next week, e.g. SPY failing several points. Also, there may be a bigger pullback within a month or two. Nonetheless, I plan to be cautious, e.g. buying longer-term in-the-money puts rather than weekly puts, because SPY may continue the uptrend.
My portfolio is at $510,000 including $299,600 in cash.

Portfolio at $100,000 on Mar 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss raised to $400,000. Stop loss will be strictly enforced and extreme caution will be taken if triggered to avoid large losses and preserve capital in "irrational" market periods. |
