Sep 2nd Trading Log (Recap and Thu Trading):
I bought heavy positions in EBAY puts, since EBAY may fall below 85 sometime before the Sep options expire. Also, I bought heavy positions in DIA puts and partially hedged those puts with INTC leaps. It's rumored the employment report tomorrow morning will beat expectations. Also, INTC's mid-quarter update was below expectations and INTC is down sharply in afterhours. Perhaps, there will be an opportunity to sell some puts, on big dips, tomorrow, and buy more SMH and INTC leaps. The semiconductors are the "canary in the coal mine." So, it's hard to believe, momentum will continue for overvalued non-semi techs, while the semis are falling even lower.
My portfolio is at $860,000 including about $460,000 in cash.
