I will wait until mid-February to buy. Even if I ultimately buy above $5.22, I think I need to follow the system. If I deviated, then I am asking for it.

I give a lot of respect for people self-employed because I don't have guts to quit my day job. I should check out your primary / secondary work to see if we can be mutually beneficial. I don't know how I found your blog in the first place, but it was trading logs that got me into and I've never seen anybody who posts a real P/L although I've seen people who post only when things are going well. Looks like NG is getting another beating today. I placed an order to sell 2.5 Put for 0.153. To get that price, I think NG needs to get to 2.4ish. I didn't know NG does relatively well in Feb, but I guess we'll see. Do you have any target in mind for UNG? Good stuff, man.

I've been playing for 25+ years and have the same handicap I had 20 years ago. Every golfer I know is the same. You can't improve at golf. No way. Yes if you play a lot you might have a great day and shoot a 79 or 80 but you're never going to do it consistently. Your next round will be a 96. That's just how the golf gods work. Truth is your golf handicap is part of your DNA. You just gotta accept it and live with it. Dude, face it. I’ve been playing for 25+ years and have the same handicap I had 20 years ago.

After a few rounds, I realized that the quickest way I could lower my score was to practice putting, so in my last round, all the putting was either 2 or less. But it turned out I lost more balls than ever! Before that time, I had only 2 balls in my bag, so there was lots of pressure not to lose any and I finished with only 1 ball lost, but this time I had like 15 balls, but came home with 5 balls (10 lost from my friend and me combined). 81! man, I can only imagine how it feels.
