Things I Did Today

Here are today’s things:

* I covered most of my Index shorts:

$SPY $766.95

$QQQ 736.75

* I covered my relatively large $GRNY short at $28.02 and eliminated a small $JOET short at $45.14 .

* With $CVNA down by -$5 I sold my CVNA puts. I remain short common.

* I added to long in $MSOS at $5.09 (common) and bought a crapload of calls for October and November. Added to $GTBIF at $7.70.

* I added back to $GLD at $380.30 today — replacing what I sold on Friday (when I substantially reduced my GLD on a rally at $394.94). I got very lucky for the second time on the precious metal, remember I sold my prior position of this trading sardine at over $400 about a week ago.

* I paid $26.01 for more $WRTH long.

Position: Long MSOS common (VL) and calls (M), GLD (L); Short SPY (VS), QQQ (VS), CVNA (VS)

* Most importantly, after three down days in a row, I covered my medium-sized SPY short yesterday afternoon …

* I covered my short $SPY into the teeth of yesterday’s decline. 

From The Comments Section:

Dougie

With s and p cash -50 handles i am shorting october monthly puts against my short calls.

I also covered some of my short spy calls.

Essentially on the short oct puts i am taking in premium and locking in some profits from the drop in the indices over the last week.

I plan to reshort strength/rally…

* I added to my $MSOS common and calls.

* I reshorted Coreweave ($CRWV) at $99.34 (New)

* I shorted $ARKK at $86.12. (New)

* I added to $CVNA short.

* I covered most of my $GRNY and $JOET shorts.

* Bought back $GLD at $397.01
