Financials Surge Again: 10 Ways to Profit and Protect [View article]
I hope you took your put profits before the rise, because this is a fresh upleg targeting 1050 in the S&P, this is not an advisable strategy IMO. I do expect the S&P to retest the gap up and retest the 900 area though, in which case you would be better off buying back your puts and getting some long calls.
There are still far too many bearish people to stop the market falling ATM, for example there is a guy on this site who is shorting 3 x levered long ETF's! Whilst this idiotic behaviour continues it's up up and UP.
