Profit Repellant
When I finally arrive and saw the affect in my trading account, I contracted what seemed to be a rare case of terrets syndrome. Funny thing is...now that the market is closed, it went away! To tell you the truth, I am totally stumped...and I have frozen like a deer in headlights. I have not closed anything, but still considering getting out of the market until the conditions decide to be tradeable. For right now I have about 4.5 hours left to come up with a topic to speak about tonight. Hopefully I can find something interesting...but if you have any suggestions, float them my way. By the way, I was told that I cannot use company resources to advertise this blog. Until this morning, I wasn't really worried about it, since this page came up eaasilly through google...but after trying to Google it again today, it didn't show up. I'm sure I will find a way to advertise eventually.
I'll post after I decide on a topic for tonight.
You show up just fine when I google "Jeff Kohler trader blog".
I share your pain in today's market. What should have gone down went up and what should have gone up went down!
I took a quick profit yesterday in WHR Put and after seeing what happened today, I'm glad I did. I know you're supposed to let the winners ride but with this choppy market I am tired of seeing my profits evaporate and turn into losses. There's an old sailing saying for when you encounter choppy water or rough weather...
Sheet in and sail ugly.

Jeff, I love the image on this post.
Karen, nice comment on "sheet in and sail ugly." I'm a board-sailer/windsurfer and the saying applies there as well.
