I like the SPY put with your original intentions, and the fact that you haven't forgotten why you established the trade in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI believe the markets are due for a correction. I think sequestration is really just a baby step our government needs to take to get our country back in the right direction, next will be a balanced budget.
When Europe took the hit, there had to be some companies that improved while most went down with the country, I wonder what companies will improve when US takes a similar hit. WMT would probably be one of them.
never, never invest in a single put or call option with theta negative decay
ReplyDeleteie. only a single put or call YOU WILL ALWAYS LOSE MONEY!!!1....ALWAYS, ALWAYS USE SPREADS....ie verticals(within a single month) calendar(time spreads)...
