{quote} yep, I was remembering, back from RUT days. So you're an options trader now? Are you still in CE? Do you still talk to sisse's group? Etc... I filled some Mar20 SPY $311 calls for 30c, looking to sell the Mar18 same for that or better.....
I moved from the CE with the city over to PM for the energy company here. Better pay, better benefits, more room for growth. Don't talk to sisse's group much anymore....

Fair comment mate, always get some swings and round abouts.

I think this time is somewhat different, the fed have now tried 4 methods to prop up the market & all 4 have failed, where as before they would have sent it on a bullrun, this time they’ve all been sold into.

cant really see it climbing that high but never say never.

The US govt now getting it together a little better on the virus response, although still running late. More testing means more data....the numbers will be shocking and sobering and maybe will incite panic and chaos in some locations. This will play out over the next few months probably. Equities will not be immune and most likely will put in more heavy legs down. SnP 2,000 is the big target below. However, the more this slow motion trainwreck goes along, the more it will be clear that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The more uncertainty about it will be replaced by some sense of normalcy. stocks will rise even as dire economic data rolls in. With all the massive stimulus I think you'd have to bet on a revival of the bull market, probably by Q4 or next year.

We still have to get thru election season....a month ago that was the next big vol-inducing event on my radar...
