Hey Guys,
After the market started the day out down yesterday, it then came all the way back up and even gapped up overnight last night. It's a good example of how even when there are a few relatively quiet and stable days in a row, this market environment is one where volatility can flash up at any moment. It's nice to see it flash in the direction of strength. The S&P 500 is just above 5,600 right now.
I took on a couple of new trades today. This time, they were in the stocks account. I bought stock positions for both NEM and AEM.
That now gives me two open positions in both my stocks account and my options account. It feels nice to have some skin in the game in both accounts after going more than a week with no trades. It's also nice to be regularly hearing the chime of a transaction in my trading platform again.
My overall risk exposure is still relatively low. We'll see how things stack up in the coming days.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
