<p>$452 is the 50% Fibonacci Retracement from the Feb 11 high.</p>
<p>When I can’t see obvious patterns for support/resistance, I look at MAs and Fib Retracements.</p>
<p>GOOG looks like it has a date with the 50 DMA.</p>
<p>I sold 5 spy 155 puts that expire tomorrow. I did this because the market is up 66 percent of the time on the day before Good Friday. I had to leave for the last couple of trading hours so I didnt have time to look at anything else. </p>
<p>I may do something else tomorrow, but I doubt it. I think the S&P will hit new all time highs tomorrow.</p>
<p>"Two regional Federal Reserve presidents said they want the Fed to keep buying bonds through the end of 2013, while a third official said the central bank isn’t doing enough to spur economic growth. “We should continue our large-scale asset purchases of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities through this year – although the amount may need to be adjusted up or down, depending on how the economic situation evolves,” Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said today in a speech in Manchester, New Hampshire. “This is a point when we have to be patient and let our policies work,” with stimulus “firing on all cylinders,” Chicago’s Charles Evans said to reporters.

<p>Gasoline for a fire? This was posted shortly before the close today.</p>
<p>My account was up more than I had expected so I looked around in the history and found a nice dividend from the QLDs. Why do the QLDs pay dividends? They must hold some of the actual stock. Strange. I’m going to have to do some more digging.</p>
<p>Qld does have holdings. Aapl is a very large holding. Qqq is a large holding. Both of these pay dividends. Msft, intc are all part of the holdings. </p>
<p>So you are still long aapl if you are long qld. If, just an example, if you are long 200,000 qld, part of that $200,000 is aapl. More than $30,000 maybe. (Aapl is also part of the qqqs which is part of qld. This increases aapl’s weightings in qld). My numbers may be slightly outdated. They are close.</p>
<p>Tza has no holdings. A bunch of derivatives…</p>
<p>I thought that the QLDs were all done with options to achieve the 2X effect. I guess not.</p>
<p>Yeah… There are real stocks in qld.</p>
<p>I didn’t realize qld consisted of stocks and thought it consisted of derivatives of some sort.</p>
<p>Qld has derivatives in it too…</p>

<p>I hope the futures rally…</p>
<p>The es futures are down right now…</p>
<p>wow! now there’s a pleasant surprise. I own some DEMBF… I think that was from the SLE breakup. I wonder why it’s up 27% today!?</p>
<p>And thanks BCE. I was planning on just holding onto AAPL as a “portfolio” position, but when you mentioned you had sold it, I thought… “why would I just hold onto a position and let a great profit which has already been cut in half turn into a loss?” So I bailed out of my messy position yesterday including buying back calls and buying back puts that I had stupidly sold near the highs.</p>
<p>Looks like the company is getting taken over…</p>
<p>Congrats…</p>

<p>Thanks! I did the google search and found nothing. 12.75 Euros is more than $16… I owned SLE and when it broke up I got some DEMBF, some HSH which I sold yesterday, and a big cash dividend.</p>
<p>Nice…</p>
<p>I sold more puts in appl and a few in goog. The aapl puts are the 410s. I feel like I need a bigger cushion in aapl now. I don’t love the way aapl is trading. There might be a little pressure in the stock from call buyers who were speculating that aapl was going to increase its dividend or a new product or something. Now the call buyers need to sell because they can’t afford to exercise and own a 445 dollar stock. The call owners sell the options, the buyers today hedge by selling something
else including the stock.</p>
<p>Just one factor though. Maybe aapl just sucks today.</p>
<p>AAPL is slightly below the previous downtrending resistance line. If this doesn’t hold, then I would expect the uptrending support line to hold.</p>
<p>I sold the goog and vlo 4/5 puts.</p>
