short with protective call

Betting on a downswing

September 14, 2010 by

I’m betting that the market is due for a downswing.  If you are a sixfigure contrarian, now is the time to go long…    I sold SPY short at 112.99 and bought Oct S114 calls at 1.64 for insurance.   Worst case loss $2.65/share.
