I had to exit my Crude Oil PUTS this morning with losses.
I made a closing purchase to close out my short OCT19 40-strike PUT at 0.13
It was sold for 0.07, so the loss is -$50 (.05) not including commissions.
I made a closing purchase to close out my short DEC19 40-strike PUT at .48 ($480)
It was sold at 0.18 ($180), so the loss is -$300 not including commissions.
Comment: Far too much risk and uncertainty to try and see what is next. Gold is up over $30/ounce this morning, the flight to save-haven — and investor confidence is eroding rapidly.

Summary of my Positions 07 August 2019:
DEC19 Crude Oil short 80 CALL for .10 ($100)
OCT19 Crude Oil 75-strike CALL for 0.05 ($50)
