They weren’t kidding when they said markets generally close higher the first day of the 2nd half of the year.  I was rather disappointed at the bounce this afternoon.  It felt more forced than anything else.  In any event, I went ahead and lightened my put positions a bit by selling off a third of the financials I held.  I currently have 1 contract of XL and LM remaining.  I also sold off a contract from my CY puts.  The bounce, while it didn’t feel well, still didn’t leave a great taste in my mouth.  If anything, I can always reload tomorrow.
