Sep 16th Trading Log (13th update):

I bought 40 EBAY Sep 95 puts at $4,600 (over 94 1/2), bought 50 EBAY Oct 90 puts at $9,500 (about 95), bought 200 QQQ Nov 36 puts at $29,000 (about 35 1/2), bought 60 EBAY Sep 95 puts at $4,500 (at 95 1/4), bought 100 EBAY Sep 95 puts at $6,500 (about 95 1/2), bought 50 EBAY Oct 90 puts at $8,750 (about 95 3/4), sold 50 EBAY Oct 90 puts at $9,000 (over 95 1/2), sold 100 EBAY Sep 95 puts at $6,000 (about 95 1/2), sold 100 EBAY Sep 95 puts at $6,500 (over 95 1/4), bought 100 INTC Jan 20 calls at $17,000 (about 20 1/4), sold 10 EBAY Sep 100 puts at $5,000 (at 95), sold 50 EBAY Oct 90 puts at $10,000 (at 94 3/4), bought 200 QQQ Nov 36 puts at $29,000 (about 35 1/2), sold 100 EBAY Oct 90 puts at $22,000 (about 94 1/4), and sold 400 QQQ Oct 35 puts at $24,000 (over 35 1/4). EBAY options have been frustrating to trade (see EBAY chart at top of page five in Chart Room). EBAY has a gap to close at 90, which it may close next week. Low volatility over an extended period is the worst enviornment for holding options. I bought more QQQ puts to somewhat offset the EBAY puts I sold.

My portfolio is over $815,000 including about $620,000 in cash.
