SPY closed the year at $250, openeed last Jan2 at $267.80. Range was $233 to $294. Spoos needs a near +20% 2019 just to get to new ath's. I still think we can see good gains early, political wildcards further out murk up the view.

/es down 1% on China slowdown sign. Looking for NY to reverse that for a sign of life from the old bull market.

EWZ pops >6% today with Bolsonaro taking office now. I could see EWZ making >$45 near term, especially if USD weakens.

In US markets I see bonds still bid, I kind of think any bull revival will be a slow grind, good for some range capturing strats

Well, got out of:

BBY Jan4 53.5 CALL down to $0.76 from $1.65, so that's a loss.

All my losses in December were AAPL, and news from them yesterday evening is what drove the market down today and caused the loss for BBY.....ain't that a kicker?!?

Looking at all the daily charts, because of the up and down movements over the last two weeks, there isn't a single stock that indicates extremely overbought/oversold. I very seldom see that, usually a few indicate that regardless of the overall market, but not now. And it looks like it might be several days before any of my indicators line up....

...still you did the right thing getting out, even with today's pop those calls are only worth 12-20c

Took another trade this time on Boeing. Bought 335 calls for 280 at jan 11 exp for $2.80, think this bounce has one more leg up and Boeing looks like it has potential for 340 area before some serious resistance, only want to be in for a day or 2 before we have the talking heads later in the week that may impact the markets negatively.

Price for BA as of writing 330

Still not much out there according to my charts. I will be looking at the following tomorrow:

LEA Jan19 135 PUT @ $2.50 or better

I'm going to see what it does in the morning. Not much volume on this one, so it has a $0.25 delta between Bid/Ask, and they won't split the bid. Currently trading around $132.5, so I'd like to see it move up another $1 or so tomorrow. If not, I'll just wait a few more days...*sigh*….
