My husband forced me to cover but I am still have a large position. If we rally to 114.30 (and of course that is an if), I will buy June puts since they are not as time sensitive.
I hear you. I was a lot shorter at one time (lost track of the days) and took a profit. Nor did I take an opportunity to go shorter today. I'm like 90% sure this bear rally has two more steps in it, but don't want to risk wiping out.
Once we get by this fake double bottom, the stuff will really hit the fan until close. Got to watch out for the PPT, though. 3:45 would probably be a good time to cover. I'm doing part today, how much depends on how big the numbers are.
Well, I had way more puts then was prudent. I still have a lot. And if I can add more June ones, I will. Just made me nervous holding May ones so close to expiration even though I believe we tank by then.
Very cool. I'm watching the VIX ticker.
… and people think I'm crazy! LOL
i must be the only mom in the world trying to nurse and trade at the same time! talk about stress! just cut my finger and didn't even realize it!

41.23 *IF* that level fails, then
53.35 *IF* that level fails, then
68.30
and what if we break through containment?
