Market on a roller coaster
Interesting trading these days! I entered some bearish trades last week on Thursday by buying puts on SPY and XLE, when both equities were showing weakness and unwillingness to continue going higher.

Europe’s manufacturing data disappointed and tomorrow we will have Labor data out. The ISM Index remained above 50 number, and although it is trending lower, we most likely will avoid Continue reading →
Why I consider the market status in correction although the market rallies?
My colleague at work asked me that question when we discussed where I think this market will go. The answer was simple.
