I thought I learned to lay golden eggs

But figured out today that I had just eaten some glitter.

At one point the DOW was down more 200 points today, but it made a comeback from three to four pm. That rally at the end of the day did more emotional damage to me than the 200 point drop did. Option trading isn't for sissys!

Anyway, it was just what the doctor ordered. My portfolio took a nice little hit which knocked my feet firmly back on the ground. So far my portfolio is down 6.87% for the month, so if I want to make my dream goal of 10% a month, I'm going to have to do some pretty smooth moves to make that happen. I'll keep you posted!

Always perform your own due diligence before making any investment.
