"December can be broken down into three periods as follows: 1st
through 6th,7th through 15th, & 16th through 31st. The
performance between these periods is staggering. Take a look at the
annualized returns by period:
1st through 6th: +25.81% (up 20 times, down 7 times),
7th through 15th: -22.77% (up 5 times, down 22 times),
16th through 31st: +78.84% (up 24 times, down3 times)." - Tom

Those stats are very interesting Racetrack. I have
been in and out of SPY puts and shorting rallies from about 2070. I
am going to have a look at max pain for SPY op ex. Watching to see
what the market gives us next week...."Project, monitor and adjust"
as Steve says.
