Next Week Trading (Feb 15th):
SPY closed at 277 1/2. Perhaps, monthly options expiration gave it a boost. I expect a pullback soon. Its 200 day MA is 272. Also, I expect volatility, e.g. two or three point swings. So, if SPY opens high or rises Tuesday (market is closed for Presidents Day Monday), I’ll buy weekly puts that expire after Friday. Portfolio stop loss raised.
My portfolio is at $495,000 including $409,200 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. |
