Our Performance this Week

All strategies modestly up for the week. This is the third short week with the market closed mid-week. As a result, the AAPL Put Skew in Pure Alpha we pressed out to next week's expiration and while it still did well on the put side, without the short week and playing this week's expiration would have yielded a 500% return on the puts. With that, we don't operate in 'woulda' and 'what ifs' but it is somewhat shitty. However, there will be plenty more. Based on this we rolled down to a lower strike on the puts with the call hedge still intact as well for next week's expiration.

After some time in the red, Hedge Fusion and Futures Focus posted a green week as well.

The Week Ahead/Outlook

A full week this coming week (finally) and we already have some exposure on. Given the landscape and what is on tap (CPI), data suggests that action could be brisk the next week or two.
