Not long after the CBS GameDay crew had finished one-upping each other in a game of “who can throw the most superlatives at Tim Tebow,” the man in question was reduced to some self-pity on the sidelines.  Shades of Adam Morrison in the NCAA Tournament a few years ago…although he started even before the game was done.

Tebow could later be heard exclaiming, between sobs, “it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to!”

Adding to the comedy is bible-thumping Tebow’s choice of eye-black, which reads:
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace.  In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.”

So sorry, Timmy.  Better man up before you’re stuck on a 2/3-win team next year (perhaps you can use those stacks of millions to comfort you…).  You can’t just cry every time you lose a game…gotta handle that pressure, son!  Be of good cheer!  LOL.

Of course, with my luck, the Seahawks will draft this man-child come next spring, instead of a much better local option:  Jake Locker.  As the hippies of Berkeley learned this weekend (and USC, earlier in the season), you don’t mess with “Lock” Ness Monster!

Speaking of options…

I was rather happy that my simple $CPCI-system nailed the short term action so well, going long on Thursday and short on Friday.  Thursday’s trade was made profitable by Friday’s positive open (a trailing stop locked in the win) and the subsequent selloff made the puts profitable as well.  These now have a trailing stop as well, but would need a gap down to truly become money-makers.

Other action saw me losing a few positions to stops, while adding an equal number of new (mostly) puts.  Booked a small XOM daytrade & FCX puts near the close to ease the pain of the booked value.  The net/current value also went down by fractions of a percent, which was a definite improvement from the morning/AKAM horror show…

For tomorrow…another $CPCI entry, short SPY again off of Friday’s 0.85 reading (below the lower threshold of 1.09).  This marks the 3rd consecutive day that the put:call ratio has signalled an entry point, furthering the notion that we are at an (important) market inflection point.

Quite a few other buys lined up as well, mostly in the direction of the majority of my holdings…aka short:

• puts:  AMZN (@135.), ESRX (@86.), FRX (@31.), GDX (@49.25), GOOG (@579.), MOS (@57.), NUE (@42.), POT (@115.), SLW (@15.75), STP (@15.), X (@43.25)
• calls:  CMG (@86.) & ‘The Fly’ approved GMCR (@62.)
