Red Market While I Skied

Honestly, I was supposed to train today for my next Alpine Certification as a Professional Skier. I blew it off because I was obviously glued to the market while my daughter was eating breakfast. That was when I knew that neither of us would realistically make it on time & that I needed to set up my buy & sell orders so that I could just go skiing without my mind elsewhere. Days like today cause me to make dumb decisions so I've learned it's best to walk away. Luckily, I was in good bets...yes, bets. They were educated bets but still bets. I ended up selling most of my DUST at some point today & holding majority of the TVIX shares that I still possess. My prediction was for a red day today followed by a fairly volatile, turbulent Thursday & Friday. Now that I'm seeing the other markets reacting to our red day & the futures, I'm happy I'm still holding my insurance. I have a couple longs that I never really disclose but they should weather the next couple of sessions well. I'm glad I ultimately did chose skiing today (though I missed training) versus being a stock jock & making a bad decision.

I'm going to keep this short because I'm fairly exhausted & would like to get some sleep tonight so that being said, here were the insider transactions that I was able to track today:

I didn't take a heck of a lot of notes because I started late but I can say that OPK had the largest insider buy today & where CRM had the largest insider sale. I can also say that Carl Icahn increased his stake in GCI. That's all for tonight.
