Order filled:
Bought SSO (2X S&P long) @ 15.85 after hours.

Sold SSO @ 16.27 pre-market.

The market may rally, but I feel better being flat the S&P right now.

This may be a moot point by the close, but the SSO trade I made, buying after hours yesterday, and selling premarket today, worked out because you can actually get some good fills pre/post market close as emotions run high, and shares are thinly traded.

I sold SSO at 16.27 at about 8:20 AM ET (I had to set my alarm because that's 6:20 AM my time ) and a half hour into "real" trading, the high on SSO is just 16.21.

So, if you are trying to get in or out of a position, try throwing a "best case" limit order out there in the after / pre hours trading. You may be surprised.

I'm joining Gumby and selling short BGU (3 X bull):

Sold short BGU @ 16.61

I have a limit order in to short more BGU at 17.05 after I saw it hit 17.14, stopped and pulled back.

The stop is a little above yesterday's high of 17.16. I don't love this position right now, but sometimes those are the best.
