Not Dead Yet...


For a moment there, I was wondering if I had become overly bearish by shorting VXX puts and doing a covered call on the UVXY, essentially going long on the VIX in a very concentrated time period.  

The SPY puts I bought early this morning also dipped into the red big time before bouncing back into the green in an Angry Birds kind of way as the market suddenly U-turned during the final minutes of trading.  Blood started rushing - cranking up the excitement level in a major, major way.

It's still unclear whether I'll be able to take profit on anything any time soon, but for now:

+1.41% SBA
-0.07% Roth IRA

-0.15% DJIA
-0.07% Nasdaq
-0.09% S&P

+0.55% FTSE
+0.94% Eurofirst
+2.71% Nikkei
+2.26% Shanghai

-0.86% WTI
-0.67% Brent
-1.10% Gold

+4.89% VIX

Check out this dramatic red candlestick on the SPY 10-day 15-minute chart...  Will we see 150 or even 148.75 again?
