I said to buy puts when SP hit 5400, it overshot to 5600 and now is sitting at 5300 so even though the timing was very poor, it would’ve broken even at least!![]()

With fresh evidence of a weakening labor market, traders are now betting the Federal Reserve will deliver a big half-percentage-point rate cut in September, versus the 25-bps cut expected before the data.
