The question is why? Well, the reason is some of my stocks are up. For starters, I own 1500 shares of Peloton and the stock is up $6.50 as I write.<\/p>\n<p>Another big one is Nvidia (NVDA). I\u2019m in the stock because of the split at the end of today. I own options as my split strategy. As I write the stock is up $32.<\/p>\n<p>As I write the DOW is down 783, the NASDAQ is down 185 and the S&amp;P down 76. This is a very bad day so with my account up I feel very blessed.<\/p>\n<p>CNBC is reporting the market is down because of COVID concerns. I\u2019m not a believer in this report! I believe the market is down because of the policies and spending of this administration. I think the \u201cBig Boys,\u201d with big profits in the books, are starting to bail out. I think the fund managers are worried where this economy might go. I do not think inflation is \u201ctransitory.\u201d I think it\u2019s here to stay. I believe this will be a problem for the market. Only time will tell! You might see me selling more Naked Call Options. This will curtail my Grasshopper Trades. If I make less Grasshopper Trades I report my Master Trades to keep you in the loop of what I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Successful trading,<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p>\n<p><em>The Options Coach<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have only been reporting Grasshopper Trades lately.
