Oh damn it! FOOLED again.
Out of everything, including AMZN.
I can't take this volatility. Makes me too nervous.
Apparently, there was similar volatility in FEBRUARY ... I guess I wasn't watching.
I don't remember a thing.

BABA($172)....looks like a swing here, need a strong stomach and some duct tape for Trump's mouth.

sell to open strangle on XLI, 70 May18 put and 78 May 18 call for a credit of 1.23 (per one lot or contract)
Will take profits at .74 debit or manage accordingly
this happened earlier today. I've been on the road doing my day job. You can get in at about 1.16 which is still good.

================
He makes me nervous. I HOPE he knows what he's doing. I certainly don't like what he did to AMZN.
However, my suspicion is, he DOES know what he's doing. Every word, every "stab" is deliberate.
