Weekly: bears despair

The bears had a few days of hope in August, only to see the zombie bull crush them again. I was short a bunch of strangles, so the heat got turned up, but I made money this week. Most of the weekly options are coming in safe.

The technical evidence is strongly on the side of the bulls. So despite my prediction of a correction real soon now, I am staying mechanical, instead of letting my prediction creep into bias.
