I didn't go with options, but I've been sitting on Direxxion SPXS S&P500 Bull 3x shares for almost 2 months. Paying off nicely. My shares are up over 30%. If I sense a rally, I'll throw out a few options to hedge.

Congrats to all who had some short action on the indices, I hope you are rolling in profits, as they continue sliding, right up into Christmas. Will be interesting to see if/when they start to get some revived bull action. I am still sitting on hands....

Happy Holidays to all.

The President says BTFD.

"We have companies -- the greatest in the world, and they’re doing really well,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “They have record kinds of numbers. So I think it’s a tremendous opportunity to buy. Really a great opportunity to buy.”

Happy Holidays to you and yours Fool.

looking to leg in to some time spreads out to Feb15 back, IWM and other cheap stuff TF can afford. Put some dry powder to work, dope opps like this don't come around every day

like this: buy IWM Feb15 $150 calls for 20-25C, hope to sell the Feb1 $150 calls for that or more in the flood

NFLX ER 1/17, the Jan18 $330/335 vert calls are on sale for about a dime.

AMZN dropped $1770 to $1340 from Dec3 to Dec24, 15 td....it's gonna book back to $1750+ in Q1

how bout 5c for a T Jan25/Feb1 $31 call calendar, catches the Jan30 ER....T not traded this low since 2010...maybe leg in at $30 if it can ve had under 20c...

others to watch: AAPL, BABA,

and now $4.10....if it gets down under $2 I will break it off, that SPX fatass eats the margin.

I did some shopping today:

Feb1 IWM $143/$143.5 vert calls, 6c debit

SPX Jan25/28 2650 calendar calls for 55c

SPY Feb1 $268/270 vert calls for 15c

XRT Jan25/Feb1 $46 calendar calls for 5 centavos

NFLX ER is 1/17. I have been watching it but yet to get into anything as cheap as I like. IV's are high all over so buy low/sell high scenario as we roll into earnings is not possible. I probably won't put on any new trades til 2019.

I still think we should probably see vol collapse and stocks rally as strong earnings come through. But we might see more downside in the first week or two of 2019.

Some good news out of DC and strong earnings will show the way for a strong Q1 and I won't be surprised to see the Jan FOMC hold off on another rate hike and US equities approach their levels from Fall '18 in Q1 '19.

So btfd may not be dead. However, going forward, I am paying for downside insurance.....
