Updated value $21,967.   The CIP is looking pretty boring with just a 100 shares of SPY and the rest in cash earning a very paltry 3 basis points of interest.

I’m getting anxious to make this fun money more interesting.  The VIX is pretty low –  around 20 — so I’m not inclined to sell calls.  Buying a SPY put position is a possibility.  As is good old-fashioned stock picking.
