I?m sorry, but a one-day, 43% profit totally works for me. In additional, I want my dry powder back with which to go short again on the next screaming $60 handle gap up.
Taking profits here also allows me to cash in on the Volatility Index (VIX) spike to $29.
Going into the opening with a 25% net short, this could be out biggest up day for the P&L In 2016.
