I'm glad I dumped puts on the backiss to 1300. :blink: Offsetting that, at least, were other puts from 1332 down to 1313. After that, my only market move of the week was raking in obligitory profit on the natural gas obligatory double bottom bernce. Went with HNU in Toronto for the leverage. $4.20 fill at the open and sold for 4.71 and 4.59.

 

Other than that, hey, how about that small crap stuff. Lookey thar. Bombs away!

 

I bought SPY puts 5 minutes before the close on Friday. 135's and 134's.

Chinese retail sales slowing down to a catastrophic 16% growth rate.

 

"Holiday sales on the mainland grew 16 percent to 470 billion yuan ($75 billion), the slowest pace since the 2009 financial crisis and three percentage points below last year’s increase. China is finding it is not immune to global economic forces and the slowdown is hitting Chinese consumers, who may increase this year’s spending at a slower pace than in 2011. "

 

"China’s economic growth, hurt by a property market slump and slower export growth, is poised to weaken to 8.5 percent this year from about 9.2 percent in 2011, according to the median estimate of economists in a Bloomberg survey. "

 

"The momentum is not exciting,” noted Macquarie Capital Securities anal cyst Linda Huang. "

 

"Macau casino revenue growth may slow to 22 percent this year from 42 percent a year ago, said Victor Yip, an anal cyst at UOB Kay Hian Ltd. "
