-->greetings all, adding some mkt puts here

We added spy and dia puts, waited patiently and then pulled the trigger on the sale for a couple of NICE winners!  You can see when we entered and exited...PERFECT TIMING, right before the rally started.

  • 12:03 | Bagger Vance SPY ($79.25) Sold to Close SZCPE Apr 83 put, at $5.50 +39%
  • 12:02 | Bagger Vance DIA ($76.00) Sold to Close DIAPA Apr 79 put, at $5.00 +43%
  • 06:51 | Bagger Vance DIA ($77.50) Bought to Open DIAPA Apr 79 put, at $3.50
  • 06:44 | Bagger Vance SPY ($81.50) Bought to Open SZCPE Apr 83 put, at $3.95
  • It was a rollercoaster session, but it is March Madness, right?  Certainly some volatility is expected but with a VIX near 40, we still had a 400 pt swing in both directions.  Breadth was strong and volume perked up as well.  While this bear market rally marches on, we have to remember the context of such an experience.  There are potholes out there, so it pays to be cautious.  End of the month and quarter are upon us, while the government continues to feed 'good feelings' to the public, while the bond market took a hit from reality...a poorly received auction.  Perhaps the positiveness continues a bit longer, but an overbought market is not one we want to venture into just yet.

    Hit 'em straight!
