73% GAIN ON MY EARLY MORNING $452 PUTS TRADE (IN @$0.50, OUT @$0.87), THEN FLATTENED MY SECOND TRADE, THAT WAS IT FOR TODAY, LOW VOLUME AND VOLATILITY.
doubledown, midday SPY calls yesterday were profitable, despite the fomc pissing on the market at 13:00 ET. ZM calls from gap down were a better payoff.
today could be chaotic. we still have some headroom below the jul24 high of 457.82 (possible double top R)
but fomc rate hike warning seemed to induce profit-taking yesterday afternoon. so the key seems whether NVDA/etc optimism induces euphoric amnesia or equity holders struggled to sleep comfortably last night and decide to flee equity to bonds/etc today before the long holiday weekend...
