All this month I’ve been swimming in bullish-biased profits from my overly delta positive portfolio.  It’s getting so ridiculous that even when a position busts out for a 50% gain in 1 day, my sell criteria do not get fulfilled.  Yeah, I’m looking at you STP.

So despite my misgivings and sense of foreboding, I hung on to those calls at the close.  As well as most everything else:

open-closed

So my teeth are ready to be kicked in tomorrow, should the bears make a rare appearance on the trading floor.

Nothing much lined up in terms of new positions (most names on my shortlist are “overbought” and thus will looked to be played on the flip side)…just a couple calls in AMZN (@129.75) & WMT (@52.75) and a few potential puts to help alleviate any potential teeth kicking:  FLR (@45.50), GME (@25.), NRG (@24.75), SPWRA (@27.75)

Other action:

  • $CPCI back in neutral at 1.23 (thresholds remain at 52-week highs (1.58 & 1.10) – long term bullish sign).
  • $VIX finding some support in the 22’s, which is above the low 20’s bottom that was put in at the end of October, but it is at a similar level to the support seen all throughout the summer.  Defense of this support could be seen as a short(er) term bearish sign…

Meh…that’s it for me.  My cursory look found nothing too exciting out there.  Back to Midnight Tip-Off Madness/Marathon.

    Bit of a blah day today…stopped out of SLB calls; got filled on AMZN puts.

    Finished down maybe a quarter percent, with CF being the big winner. So I booked that. Also closed out the SPY calls for another $CPCI-system win.
