Will Coral Make Money On The Morrow?


It was a bit of a waste today as I abandoned some ultra bearish plays in favour of better levels on SPY $166 puts for fear that my SPXU calls will get sold if we go range-bound instead of postal.  

My AAPL fun also lost short term momentum and I jumped into some FB instead as FB calls could be had for only a fraction of AAPL ones.  I added some V and IBM puts in case any of these go deeply, deeply in the money.  I missed an opportunity on my XOM and SPG puts, but have positioned myself with new V and IBM puts so that I can ride these through until September for another dose of small risk, big reward.

Tomorrow's hopefully going to be huge - yoooooooooouuuuuuuj - as we have FOMC Minutes + Existing Home Sales + HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI.
