SPX and tuff enough

Shorted the open 911. It is tuff enough trading but... Yesterday around 1.30 we had a huge earthquake not so much in point only 6.2 but it was very close to the surface almost a third of my glass in my mountain house is toast. Lots of things got thrown to the floor I got slammed into a wall but as this was taking place I ran with my main laptop/ wireless and kept an eye on the market from outside. Some folks died and some are dead under land slides not found yet. Homes down and building structures in some places not looking good. Earth opened in the middle of homes. The entire night aftershocks like crazy has been interesting. Just had a big aftershock while writing this. Sheesh Just wanted to say that a rocky trading session has a whole new meaning to me. Good trades all. Z

Z,

Very sorry to hear about the earthquake and very glad to hear you're OK. Take care Z as I will be praying for you!

PS. As usual... great trading!

Holy [bleeeep]. Now that's nuts. I'm just worried about the power going out. We got a 3.something here in SoCal last night. I thought I had too much coffee. I was shaking like a car on bad gas. I love CR. Arenal volcano was one of my stops. Watch yourself...we are on the rim of fire...they're talking about the Yellowstone caldera once again...I'm investing in canned food, shot gun shells and those silver fire suits. Oh, and I'm still short from Wednesday open. Nice stats when it comes to shorting on Wednesday before op ex and holding until the next Wednesday open (plus a few other rules). Stats are boring, but that's what paid for my house and cars. D

Stop down to 909.5

DZ interesting way how many of us use different methods and still get to Rome. We are pretty much all number crazy here in some way.

Man this thing was intense because it was only 14k down not like a 6.8 I was in that was 37k down. This quake was way more violent.
Yup on ring of fire. Of course it had to happen when i was here and not in another one lol. If it blows make it a good one! YS is something for everyone to worry if that sucker blows in any serious way we are in deep S..t.

Thanks SM.
