Meltdown

Markets on the on the edge of the cliff. I’m unsettled because I managed only to re-initiate my long USO 39 January puts position, didn’t re-initiate the similar SPY position. Risk control, sometimes you miss on lice profits. I’ll wait with that, I don’t like to rush into position after such run.

VIX got lunched into the stratosphere, buying options became expensive game, another reason for waiting.
