Account value down over $2,750 today. This was due to a $22 bid paint on MAAFF and ESV.

MAAFF closed down about 56% due to a 5,500 share bid paint at .004. The previous close was .009. I did not paint it back today, but probably will tomorrow. That drop was responsible for over $1,500 of my loss in value today.

ESV closed down .26 to $7.34. Oil was down a whopping 4.11%! ESV went as low as $7.10. Thankfully it did rebound in the afternoon.

My TWTR puts stayed unchanged at .01, however, someone bought 500 contracts at that price, and moved the ask to .02. Not a bad move if TWTR has a decent fall over the next couple of days. TWTR closed down .23 to $44.26 today. Would need around a $4 drop in the next two days to see any value in the puts, IMO.
