Today’s Trade: Dec S&P Puts

Today, I bought 40 Dec contracts of SPY Puts with a strike price of $85. I believe we will retest and break through the 850 levels before Dec options expiration. The three main catalysts are:

* Heavy selling due to hedge fund redemptions in mid November
* Institutional tax selling before the end of the year
* Lower seasonal year-end volume allows for easy manipulation of the market
