I was considering closing these, just because the Q's will need AAPL to muster some strength for a shakeout of the shorts and AAPL has some short term positives, but I think there's plenty of time on the Puts which are in the green and I don't yet have the full AAPL position size in the equity short I'd like so I decided to leave these open.
The short term AAPL view at 1 min with a slight positive, it will probably get bigger and bounce a bit.
The more important 10 min negative.
In this situation with a short term 1 min positive and a longer term 10 min negative, unless there's a change in the 3C trend, which there's not, the way I want to play this is look for AAPL strength to sell short in to or buy puts, since I already have puts and enough time, I'll leave them for now.
***When a market gets to volatility like this, there's always the chance of margin calls hitting hard as I showed from our member who updates sentiment,
"The twittertards are all long, even citing TLT as a reason, even the bears are long".
These margin calls can force selling and we can have a waterfall break-we may very well get one.
For now, I w ant to deal with what I can see and know.
Is interest rates about to start going up?
-
Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.
