Sold a lot of put contracts today with very good premiums due to rise in the VIX. "Had to" because I haven't had any new income this week, but still in boring stuff that dropped with the market like NEM-GOLD-SLV-WBA-BMY. Those can be fipped to tech if this market dives for real. Techs are only good for a trade here on this baby dip.

Would have grabbed some spec/tech puts but just couldn't type fast enough to catch them low enough. I think I will just add a few shares to my stocks that dropped since yesterday. My wild guess is I am 35% cash. Hope I get a chance to get more money in the market soon but I am not going to chase stocks with PEs 150% of historical. Most anything good is there and I'm not biting. Said I wouldn't touch retail but might sell a DG or DLTR put. That's been working for me and the dip is nice enough.

150%? That's great value compared to Tesla's PE of ~1100. That too after the fed and central govt rebates. Musk should really thank China for letting him do business almost tax free and giving him loan for the factory and then not taking much equity in Tesla's chinese business. Books will be written about what we are witnessing.
