It was a volatile week. But, in the end, the market closed on a weak note. We were very cautious about chasing longs after Monday's big jump. We did catch some good trades on gold/gold miners. Then, we waited to play puts, which produced a nice +111% profit in PCLN. Here are the closed trades for the week:
