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…
