Sep 1st Trading Log (Recap and Thu Trading Plan):
Basically, I sold some calls and bought puts on bounces. All my calls rose, while all my puts (except DIA) fell. OIH (oil index) rallied big yesterday and today, and rallied on anticipation of even higher oil prices. However, OIH is near short-term resistance (i.e. previous recent tops and Sep Max Pain of 72.50). EBAY continues to rally strongly. I noticed, internets tend to rally to extreme levels, and then fall sharply and quickly. The employment report before the market open tomorrow may move the market. Also, INTC's mid-quarter update is tomorrow. I plan to stay heavy in cash and take advantage of volatility, to buy or sell. SPX is near its 200 day MA, and may still fall to 1,080 to complete a bullish inverse head & shoulders pattern.
My portfolio is at $885,000 including about $745,000 in cash.
