There's always a silver lining to volatility. The vulnerable stocks get exposed, the weak hands get shaken out, and what we'...

What a difference a couple of days makes!

The froth has definitely come off the $VIX spike over the past week. Does this mean we're all clear? Well, no. Not necessarily and not yet.

But it does give us a little bit of confidence that...

Options premiums still remain elevated across the board and therefore I continue looking for delta-neutral premium-selling strategies to implement.

Well, once again we saw a little downside action this week and the noise-makers on the twitter and the teevee got all revved up. Cool. Whatever drives clicks, you maniacs.

That's right, I'm on the couch, settled in for a nice rom-com with the wife, passing the chip dip, and thinking about the stock dip I'm about to buy.
