SPY – S&P (Equity) (Last:141.82)

We bought four January 129 puts for 0.31 based on an intraday recommendation made in the chat room and via e-mail.  Use a 0.21 stop-loss for now.  This means you should sell the puts at-the-market if they trade for 0.21 or less. _______ UPDATE (3:42 p.m. EST):  This speculation proved short-lived when the broad averages took another leg up on word of a fiscal-cliff deal. The trading loss on a 0.20 stop-out was $44.  I remain keen on getting short early in 2013, but we’ll wait for a better opportunity.
