Sold BGU at 58.10

At 3:27PM, when SPX was at about 1200. (I originally bought in the low 1180s.)

I sold in order to play it safe, but I think 1250 is in the cards before another downturn in prices.

Bought BGU at 57.68

11:24 AM -- at the time, SPX was around 1183-1185

Sold SSO at 51.82

5.4% loss. I bought SSO several weeks ago, when the S&P 500 was approximately at 1343. This was truly a terrible, amateur trade on several fronts. It also made me glad I don't trade options.

I have sold at around 1307 on SPX. The high today of 1309 is close enough to 1312, which I believe may act as resistance. This post explains why.
