An Observation on ‘Newsy’ Events

* Trading opportunistically and dispassionately…

Yesterday, among other activity, we added to shorts in $GRNY, $C and $JPM.

I remain bearish.

Today’s ceasefire news will likely provide an opportunity to cover some shorts — something I like to do in a “newsy” backdrop.

I would anticipate reshorting the inevitable rallies than have followed a breakdown in negotitations with Iran.

Position: Short GRNY (L), C (M), JPM (M)
