....I doubt it the SP500 could be up +15% by year end.  My main point about today is I believe we are going to see volatility actually begin so we could see the market fall a whopping -5, maybe even another -10% before a big year end ripping rally after the elections. 

 

well, we have different expectations. I don't expect the spx to turn down before 8800-9000 is reached and I don't expect any 10% correction before elections, but again, I respect your opinion.

 

I guess were back to the start of the year where I said there was going to be a correction and you were bullish then.  Remember I was saying it would be better to be in bonds for awhile.  Were in the same thing now, way overdone and I prefer to trade like when I said the market was pretty oversold when I was selling expensive puts end of March!!  Now I'm selling expensive calls like in January! 

 

 

infact I didn't expect the market to drop in March, but I think one drop is enough. However, our positions are clear, let's wait and see.

The stock market goes up today as Trump, Rubio say Iran talks ongoing despite state media claims

If SPX closes the day above 7600 we are likely to see more upside to go ...............

Surprise surprise the markets down this morning, Profit stop 7620 and sell above if hit.  Something tells me its not going to recover today though.  Still also holding todays 7650 calls for $10.20

Selling this Friday's 7650 calls for $13.10 as I'm having a hard time believing were going to get back there this week.  The odds this week are incredibly low it will be a higher week so smart to take those odds!!

What a shocker, the markets selling on news about new 10% tariffs, oil higher and nothing being done on Iran and especially no volume pushing the market up.  I'm tempted to lower my profit stop but these moments don't come around very often and there is huge possibility of a down week overall so we could see further losses yet

It's a 100% news driven market.  Depending on what will happen overnight/tomorrow in the Middle East the market will keep spiking up and down.  Today's dip likely will be bought as Trump, Rubio say Iran talks ongoing despite state media claims albeit localized/limited military actions................................
