Mar 10th Trading Log (Updates):

Morning Trades: Bought 10 SPY Mar 10 380 calls at 10, 9, and 8, bought 30 more SPY Mar 390 calls at 5, bought 20 more TSLA calls at 7 and 6, and bought 30,000 more DNA shares at 1.20. Current Trades: Sold the 30 SPY 380 calls at 12.5, sold the 60 TSLA calls at 11, sold the 50 SPY 390 calls at 6.8, sold 50,000 DNA shares at 1.32, bought 20 SPY Apr 390 calls at 11, bought 2,000 ARKK shares at 35.65, bought 30,000 DNA shares at 1.21, bought 20 more SPY Apr calls at 10.2, and bought 20 more SPY Apr calls at 9.1 --------- The daily NYMO closed at negative 73 yesterday. Also, although jobs growth came in higher than expected, hourly earnings was lower than expected, which is the important inflation variable. I expect volatility today and next week, which is a monthly options expiration week. However, I'll be busy part of today and may not trade many more options.

My portfolio is about $2,590,000 including $1,923,600 in cash.

Portfolio at $100,000 on March 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss suspended. Scaled up and adjusted portfolio. Both prior portfolios, since early 2000s, rose initially and substantially, and then failed quickly in “irrational” market “melt-ups," where stocks can go straight up month after month.
