Trading While Traveling2:11 – 7:50

M

2:11

Hope you had a good July 4th holiday.

M

2:13

Got away from your screens.

M

2:14

I got to say it was refreshing to just have days where I didn't have to worry about what VIX was doing or anything along those lines.

M

2:21

It is very refreshing along those lines.

M

2:22

But now I'm back to business and I'm back to dealing with the black-headed one himself.

M

2:27

Mr. Daniel Jean-Claude Van Damme Passarelli himself, the third Esquire.

M

2:33

Mr. P, welcome back to the show.

M

2:34

Surprising that your parents were such big fans of the muscles from

Dan PassarelliHost

2:38

Brussels.

Dan PassarelliHost

2:41

Yes, good to be back, Mark.

Dan PassarelliHost

2:43

Good to hear that you had a nice trip.

Dan PassarelliHost

2:47

It's good to get away.

Dan PassarelliHost

2:49

So, yeah, man, what are we going to

M

2:50

talk about today? Since we're talking travel really quickly, I won't regale you with my tales of my trip.

M

2:56

M

2:58

M

2:59

M

3:00

But aside from that, I'm curious, sir.

M

3:02

My MO when I travel, this is what I usually tend to preach to a lot of our pro members as well, is to really...

M

3:09

Take off everything you reasonably can.

M

3:11

You don't want to be burdened by having to check your screens with all this madness.

M

3:15

And that's what I usually do 99 times out of 100.

M

3:18

I had to leave before the markets closed on Friday.

M

3:20

Pretty much as soon as Volviews was done, I had to hop on a plane and get the heck out to Dodge.

M

3:25

So I wrote an in-the-money covered call on one of my positions, assuming I would get called away.
