I got some cheap ES OTM puts today when it was at 3790. Still a bear market and I expect SPX to visit 3500 before the year ends ................... ...................

I'm not shorting, risk reward sucks Read my post under Gm Generals thread. You have to wait for failure on this one or you could really get klobbered. (JMHO)

I'm up about 55 points right now on that short from 3788. 

A disappointing job report will send the market higher. I'm not comfortable with that risk.

Placing a stop at 3778 locking in a 10 point gain.
