Sep 17th Trading Log (fifth update):
I bought 20 OIH Oct 85 puts at $13,600 (about 78 1/2), bought 100 INTC Jan 20 calls at $16,000 (at 20), bought 50 MRK Jan 45 calls at $10,000 (over 45), bought 50 DIA Nov 104 puts at $12,500 (over 103 1/4), sold 300 INTC Apr 22.5 calls at $33,000 (over 20 1/4), and sold 50 DIA Nov 104 puts at $13,500 (about 103). I'm betting the market will pull-back later today, since I sold some INTC calls, to sell the QQQ Oct puts. OIH (oil index) has been an excellent predictor of future oil prices. OIH is way up again to 79 1/4, which may be negative for the general market.
My portfolio is over $815,000 including $595,000 in cash.
