Aug 27th Trading Log (Premarket):

My portfolio continues to stay heavy in cash, because a low volatility market is a tough trading market. However, I'm bullish on SMH and INTC intermediate-term. PSFT is expected to open higher. So, I may buy another 10 puts, to partially hedge the calls, in case the court ruling is negative for the stock. Also, I plan to bail out of the OEX puts and sell some EBAY puts, on a small dip, since I don't want to hold many Sep options over the weekend. The market is short-term overbought. So, I plan to keep my portfolio with slightly more short-term puts than long-term calls.

My portfolio is about $890,000 including about $750,000 in cash.
