Technically today was green but I'm going to mark it as red.

I gave back some gains right at the close in a foolish gambit with SPY call options.

I'm sorry officer, I don't know what I was thinking.

The only news of note today was the meme trade around gold breaking down:

Yesterday I had actually experimented with some put options on GLD but didn't see the volatility that I was looking for, and closed the position for a minor profit. Comically enough that same put is worth about 3x today!

I am excited to see what magical thinking the Tesla (TSLA) earnings call does to it's stock price after the close tomorrow. I don't really have much interest in picking a side, but TSLA does make for good entertainment.
