Weekly: Two hard down days AMZN FB TSLA drop

I lose about 1.8% for the week. Tesla did most of the damage. Facebook, Amazon also were red factors. Higher yields on Treasury bonds are widely cited as a factor. It is also October during a mid-term electdion year, and markets are often turbulent in that time frame.

Here are the trades (p=puts, c=calls, number near end is price per contract, sell means sell-to-open, cover means buy-to-close):
