Greek Fires – Update
I heard good news this afternoon about my family in Greece. The village where my grandfather was born and where I still have second cousins living, Vounargo (Βούναργο), is not burned. The area all around it appears to be destroyed and the fires are still burning, but for now it’s OK.
My family from my grandmother’s side in Zacharo (Ζαχάρω) and Kalidona (Kαλίδονα) is all OK and have now made it out to Athens. Their houses are destroyed and had no where else to go since it also sounds like crops are destroyed too.
The only relief effort for sending contributions I’ve found on line is in NY at the Greek Orthodox church. Here’s the address for anyone who wants to send a donation to help. Thank you to those who have emailed your kind thoughts.

That’s a sad tale what occurred in Greece. I hope the fires are out, and all your family is safe.
I actually gave access to my TOS to my Dad! It is my smaller brokerage account, and it is his chance to trade options. Maybe he will do better than I have with options.
The other day I closed AAPL puts that had recovered lost value, and the next day the stock was down 5 bucks, so I missed 1,700 if I’d have kept them. Options are a real pain sometimes.
Another 280 point DOW plunge, incredible.

Thanks!
Interesting that you bought puts at the same time I was selling them. What was your strike? You are right, for trading options it’s tight – AAPL is up today more than it was down yesterday, so maybe you saved a loss instead,
