Aug 7th Trading Log (Premarket):
TLT is up again in premarket towards 141, another big rise for the sixth day in a row. Volume was lower yesterday, and short term very overbought. If it opens high, I’ll buy heavy positions in Aug or Sep in the money puts. I expect a pullback, perhaps to 138, within the next day or two. That would be an opportunity to bail-out of all options and wait for a “rational” market.
My portfolio is over $505,000 including $192,800 in cash.

Portfolio at $100,000 on March 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss lowered to $500,000. Scaled up and adjusted portfolio. Both prior portfolios, since the early 2000s, rose initially and substantially, and then failed quickly in “irrational” market “melt-ups.” |
