Did the market just take a dump? No wonder it’s kind of smell…

Take a look at the daily and weekly SPY charts below.  It sure looks like the SPY took a dump…

Below is the daily SPY chart:

Below is the weekly SPY chart:

Just bought myself a starter position on TZA and SKF.

Unloaded some of my long-term position to lock in profit and to protect my YTD gain of 17+%.

Current cash position is 82%

Good Hunting!

    About 90% cash here.
    130 SPY needs to test and hold. If it does, I will be selling OTM put credit spreads on the generals of the market like PCLN, CMG and AAPL for probable rally into holiday / earnings.

      Hope you do well with your spread option. I am not familiar with spread option and probably will never pick it up. I prefer a straight forward buy or sell of stock or call or put options. It is much easier for me to work with since I don’t like to think too much when I’m executing trades.

      Stopped out of my TZA starter position as well for a small loss.

      Currently no position except for 10% remaining of my long-term holding. Yes, I sold some more long-term holding today. Basically, I’m 90% cash right now.

        Stopped out of my TZA addition for a small loss. No Ouch! here either.

        Stopped out of my SKF starter position as well. The loss is small so there is no “Ouch!” here.
