Without a blow-by-blow account, I waited until after the CPI report to do anything. Then on Thursday I opened short calls positions. On Friday I opened short put positions at the open, plus bought a pile of OKE. Woke up middle of the night, the calls had 75% profit and the puts were in aggregate even. Closed all that plus closed the AFRM October whatever puts. Then, sold the OKE for a day trade. Made my rice and beans money for a couple of weeks.
Such is the nature of the market as I see it. Have a clean slate for next week. How about a down 5% for the broad market on Monday and a wee more for the high growth?
POMO uber alles.
