Weekly: Batman market Wham Pow

What comes to mind is the old Batman TV shows featuring Adam West. In the fight scenes, there are big captions: WHAM POW. Here is a short youtube link Batman tells Penguin "surrender that giant pie" link

In particular, Friday, saw over a 5 point swing from low to high on SPY. It looked to me like a massive short squeeze. Highlights of this week include my biggest long premium winner of the year in terms of dollar amounts. 

The IBB Oct 325 puts were sold to close for a 60% profit. The biotech etf continues to have wild swings. I did okay overall, but felt like I left a lot of money on the table. The realistic view is that "half a loaf" is what my cautious strategies tend to get. Can't expect big winners, if I am usually hedging. I sold a strangle on TSLA.

Here are the trades. I am changing the format to start with Monday end with Friday. Not a big deal but it may read a little better. (c = calls, p = puts, sell means sell-to-open, weeklies indicated by w suffix, all other options are third week expiration, numbers are prices in dollars per contract)
