Market

I just came back from Vietnam and surprise, without me, there was no posting. Lets start the party again!

The July plunge really stretched my delta loss. The recent sideways market and lower volatility has brought up my account to another profitable level. The delta loss is reversed and probably I will get the repair done by end of this month. One month to repair, I am quite okay with it.

I also noticed a slow time decay for past 2 weeks, anyone knows why?

Thank you.

Re: Market

Dear All,

From the movement on financial counters and some heavy weights, it seems the market is starting to prepare for the year end Christmas Rally. Or we call it Year End Election Rally.

Hurray for my delta repair and decrease in volatility. I noticed some fast time decay lately and I am enjoying every moment of it.

Thanks everyone!

Re: Market

It seemed I was right, only for two days. The market plummeted so quick, as quick as Obama losing the poll results to McCain after Sarah Palin's speech.

Sun, I forgot what you told me. The last movement before reversal is the largest.

Now, delta is going against me again. I am protecting the downside by rolling down to March 09 for some of the ETF, especially XLE and OIH.

Thanks!
