May 17th Trading Log (Updates):
Morning Trades: Sold the 20 SPY calls at 15.5, sold 20 BABA calls at 9.5 and 10.5, and sold the 2 AMZN calls at 100. Current Trades: Bought 1 AMZN calls back at 65, bought 10 BABA Jul 90 calls at 10, sold the 1 AMZN calls at 120, sold the 10 BABA Jul calls at 10.8, and sold the 10,000 DNA shares at 2.75 ---------- DNA rose as high as 3.16 on earnings yesterday and then fell back down. I've been wanting to take a break from trading, since my portfolio is way up this year (see prior Trading Plans and Logs), but it looked like the market was setting up for a powerful bear market rally. It's possible SPX can rally to 4,400! I may not do any trading tomorrow, but may buy a light position of SPY September or later puts, if SPX rises to 4,300.
My portfolio is about $1,460,000 including $1,458,500 in cash.

Portfolio at $100,000 on March 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss suspended. Scaled up and adjusted portfolio. Both prior portfolios, since early 2000s, rose initially and substantially, and then failed quickly in “irrational” market “melt-ups," where stocks can go straight up month after month. |
