Cover short BA calls

Cover short BA (buy back short calls) @88.4

This is a late report, I cover one leg of my short strangle on Boeing for a big percentage loss. BA and the rest of the stock market continue to move higher. By the close, BA backs off its highs, so this specific move was ill-timed. The reason I did it was so the overall April Boeing positions close the books for the month at about net neutral. The quick snap back is a hazard of using stops. The hazard of not using stops is a powerful move that results in a huge loss.

Most of the defensive action I took last week has turned out to be ill-timed. The zombie bull market as I call it, continues to lurch forward, sweeping away the bears, or the hedgers. My short strangles on APC, LEN and TSLA are now delta negative, meaning net short.
