Aug 27th Trading Log (Recap and Next Week Trading):
I traded EBAY puts, while my calls rallied. Also, I bought QQQ and OIH puts on bounces, and bailed out of the OEX puts. I basically took advantage of arbitrage opportunities to move my portfolio into optimization. EBAY was weak today, which may suggest the market is near a top (or it may just be profit taking). The short-term indicators are still overbought. SPX closed at about 1,108 between its 50 day MA at 1,104 and 200 day MA at 1,111. Volume continues to be light. The recent rally may be in large part short-covering. I'll continue to take advantage of volatility (although, there's little of it) next week. I'll post more info in a Next Week Trading Plan this weekend.
My portfolio is about $895,000 including over $730,000 in cash.
