So How Was Your Week???

To all of you who have been deprived of your excellent blog posts the last week from me, please accept my apologies. I was just a wee bit busy because of what the stock market was doing. I'm writing this post at around a quarter after five on Sunday night and the S&P 500 futures are down another seven points before the market is even open. Did I mention it's not good to be an option seller when the volatility index triples? I digress though. It should be another stressful week if tonight's action is any indication. This market was overdue for a pullback, you just never know what is going to spark it. In this case, it was the Chinese stock market selling off over 10% last Wednesday. I'm hoping for a slower week this week, but I'm not holding my breath. Every now and then my life gets turned upside down by these markets. It's the nature of the business. It also will create opportunity for the long term. You just have to weather the storm.
