Tomorrow's Outlook

I will continue to hold on to the open LEAPS.

Depending on how bullish I feel in the morning, I may risk selling another META spread. But I do not have much cash available, so it may instead be a risk trade-off in favor of selling a PUT or buying another LEAPS trade.

Speculation Zone

Alright so what has the last few days of consecutive drops shown me? A few things actually!

  • Not having large positions on Credit Spreads helped with reducing how much hit I took when my bet was wrong.
  • Being able to close a losing position out even when I have the conviction that market will bounce back from where it is today, because there is not enough time to let the bet grow back up again.
