It’s Never the Same Day Twice
I was just stewing over my recent ETF option trade performance, which seemed less satisfactory than last year’s.

December Cometh with a Flurry
December Cometh with a Flurry… …of activity. Closed a trade today, opened a couple of new ones, and took profits on an option trade. IWM / TNA After my early morning comments about the Russell 2000, the IWM magically proceeded to roll over — so far, that I was forced to take a position. I …
