......................I Got My Shorts On

I finally bought some XAU Puts for a short term trade. I had a limit order in modestly below the market and waited about 15 minutes before it got filled. I correctly expected enough strength early today to fill the order. SPX was a great lead indicator that gave me confidence to use a below market order and risk missing this buying opportunity. I was confident that SPX strength would lead to index fund buying of gold/silver stocks and that's exactly what happened.
