Daily Recap - May 19, 2008

Keeping it short since I just came from class.  I apologize for the lack of updating during the weekend but I’ve been ill for a couple of days now.  Having a nasty headache right behind your eye really, really hurts!  Anywho, quick update:

No Trades Taken

Profit / Loss for the Day / Open: -$77.00 / -$174.00

Amazing what happens when volatility begins to contract.  Visa finally broke above $83 today and closed almost a point higher and yet my contracts were down.  Theta and volatility suck.  Seems to be the story with the rest of my holdings.  I think at this point I’m going to switch from playing an options/futures game to strictly options.  There’s quite a bit of cash sitting in my account that I could potentially put to good use.  I’ll have a more complete update at work tomorrow.  Sigh…
