A continuing rotation out of momentum into more quality names. Apple, Amazon IBM and Microsoft were all hot on the OX desk today.

A two-part strategy block today. First, a few current strategies Uncle Mike is employing. Second, a trade for people who may not have been able to pull the trigger on a selling a bull put spread when the market was down today.
