    Closed the majority of my UNG positions today. I closed my enter swing trade +11.44% and 1/2 of my puts +14.17%

    Beyond that, I re-entered my weekly covered calls in my cruise lines -- CCL & NCLH -- for roughly 0.75% reduction in basis on each long position.

    Thanks for stopping by,

    While broadly the market sold off today, there were little pockets of action, causing me to take risk off the table...we're in a bear market, after all:
    • PYPL swing trade +26.82% after its big after hours
    • Remaining 1/2 of my UNG put position +18.11%
    • WBD swing trade +16.34%
    • First gold play: AEM swing trade +5.44%
    Tempted to take SQ off today, but the quasi 'break out' move today from the bullish channel its been in caused me to hold on a little longer. Maybe this thrust is a last gasp, who knows, time will tell.

    Thanks for stopping by,

    Busy little day today on both sides of the market.

    In the pre-market, my sell order to close RCON triggered +6.67%
    I also ended up closing my SQ swing trade today +22.44%...after thinking a lot about doing so yesterday...

    I rolled those profits into some "short" swing trades against SPY and QQQ -- as both as looking very overextended in the short term & hitting (or through) major resistance levels. I added to my QID swing trade -- my basis is now $19.89 with just over 2% of my trading portfolio -- and I opened a new position in SDS -- my basis is $41.40 with 1% of my trading portfolio

    I cannot believe UNG is getting right back to almost where it started from the last time I played it...so if upside can continue there for a few more sessions, I might jump back in yet again!

    Thanks for stopping by,
