***Closed***SPY (Standard & Poors Dep Rec) Iron Condor initiated on 21 Jan 2009

February 17th, 2009

What a day! We were prepared for a major move (both up and down). But we didn’t expect it to be a more than 4% move across the board! With such a selloff today, it won’t be too surprising to see the selloff continues tomorrow. Although this SPY iron condor is in pretty good shape at the moment, we decided to close up the put spread to protect ourselves against more downside risk.
