What goes up must eventually come down ...

Something in the news last week sent the market further up to hit more record highs:

This hurt both sides of our trades; the short futures position got hammered ... as I write this the S&P futures price is 2435.50, which is 51.75 points above where I sold it short ... at $50 per point, that's $2587.50.

But! I sold another put for a credit on Friday: a $325 credit, so I'm down only $312 or so on the futures trade. And I'll sell another put every week, forever, and eventually the market will stop going up and even ... go down!

I had to take a 5% loss in one of the neutral trades to meet a margin call on the futures position; the other neutral trades I have on are hurting but not dead yet. Charts below:
