The S&P and the market in general has been grinding higher over the last few weeks much to the chagrin of short sellers. There have not been many down days since late June, but there are signs of an interim top forming. The chart below shows the SPX up 190+ points since July with no meaningful pullbacks. A simple Fibonacci drawing shows a perfect 161.8 extension up to 2193 from the late June dip that went from 2120 to around 2000.

Today's action took the SPX below the high of the 21 day low bar as the MACD leads...

Bought to Open (BTO): TSLA OCT 15 CALLS @ $1.34

Based on the Daily chart above, we see some upside potential upside for TSLA. The options on TSLA are typically expensive as the stock is highly volatile (Hi IV or Implied Volatility).

SLD TO CLOSE (STC)

Sold To Close (STC) Half of our position in USO for a double. We will hold the rest of the position at least through September. Now that we have doubled our money, the remaining half of the trade is free. Oil will probably pull back a bit after an incredible run-up over the last three trading days.

So why don't we sell the whole position? Oil has a mind of it's own and lives in it's own universe. You definitely want to be along for the...
