Haven't bought any new calls or puts, as yet

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 currently trades higher by 0.3%. There has been some optimism surrounding the latest round of U.S.-China trade talks.
Press reports have indicated this week's trade talks in China have gone well and that a scheduled two-day meeting is now slated to stretch into a third day, suggesting there is a sight-line perhaps to real progress in reconciling trade disputes. While it is unclear what is being discussed, the absence of any negative headlines has been construed as a positive that is fostering hope of a broader agreement being struck by the March 1 deadline.
Overseas, the major European indices closed on a higher note with Germany's DAX gaining 0.5%, UK's FTSE gaining 0.8%, and France's CAC gaining 1.2%.
