Hey Guys,
The market is around the same spot as it was at the close of last week. The S&P 500 is around 4,140.
I picked up a few new positions today. In the main account, I bought shares of stock for GOOG. In the options account, I bought options for both GOOG and GLD.
For those who keep an eye on the Triggered List, you may have noticed that GOOGL also triggered. GOOG and GOOGL are both for the same company (Google). The only difference is that one has voting rights and the other doesn't. The voting rights distinction doesn't affect our trading decisions, so I just took the first one that showed up on the Triggered List and made trades on that ticker. I didn't take the other one because it would be like having double the positions on one company.
I'm up near the limit of my available buying power in the main account. Tomorrow a couple positions will reach their time limits and be closed, which will free up more buying power.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
