This market has been pretty crazy! Monday's drop was pretty unreal! The Dow was briefly down over 1,000 points. This was after falling three days in a row the week before. SPX fell down to 1867 before bouncing.
But, as expected, buyers came in on Tuesday, although the gains did not hold. Wednesday was a different story. Buyers drove stocks back higher and the buying continued into Thursday. Friday was a flat day and the major indices eked out a gain for the week.
We had a very profitable week finding winners on both sides. On Monday, we cashed out a big winner in GOOG puts, with +301% profit. We then jumped into the up side with calls in NFLX, SCTY, and MBLY. NFLX calls gave us an overnight +68.7% gain! Here are the closed trades for the week:
