Rebalance GLD (sell puts)

Sell GLD Oct 122 puts @137.1

I rebalance back to net long on gold. The rally has pushed my short Sep 145 calls deep into the red. I have three layers of short Sep puts against those calls. I still tend to think that the gap resistance will hold. We are all waiting for more news from the Middle East. Gold has had a decent rally and it is extended.

There is more risk in selling puts on something extended to the upside. My recent move in Liongate Entertainment LGF is a reminder. The puts I sold on Monday are deep in the red.

As always, I don't like fast markets because I tend to be a relatively slow moving trader. Sometimes the cliche of "don't do something, just stand there" is the best course for slow moving traders and investors.
