- Orderly Selling Favors The Bears - Tomorrow Will Be Pivotal!
-
Bad news continues to pour in and the market has convincingly broken below key support. This morning, the PPI came in much higher than expected and prices rose 1.8% in the month of June. The core edged up .2%, but there are signs that producers are passing higher costs on to consumers. On an annual basis, prices were up 9.2% during the last 12 months. Retail sales rose .1% and analysts had expected a rise of .4% in June. The rebate checks did not provide the expected boost. Auto sales posted their biggest drop in more than two years and General …

- Wrote a Call on MHK
-
Mohawk (MHK) has been falling steadily since the end of May. I started with two naked puts at the July 65 strike (received $348.50) and chased the profit with two July 65 naked calls (received $148.50). MHK kept falling, so when I charted it again yesterday afternoon to see where I thought support could be found. All I could see was that it was at a hitting the trend line of lower lows and was at a 52 week low. I expected a slight bounce, but not high enough to avoid being assigned the 200 shares from my naked calls on Friday, four days from then.

But first we have to figure out if we are even in a recession. Despite this, some investors have already begun placing their bets on stocks of smaller companies, r…

- Getting Ugly For Me On ETN
-
ETN was down more than $10 this morning. That’s over 13% down from yesterday’s close. I planned to wait until after Friday’s options expiration to sell calls on it, but decided I had to cut my losses sooner rather than delay it.
While Eaton (ETN) was trading at $69.28, I sold one ETN July 70 call (ETNGN) and received $159.25 after commissions. ETN came off its low of $68.75 soon after I made my trade. I could’ve made another $100+ if I waited 15-30 minutes.

If you do not own puts on any banks, you are missing the easiest trades in the market place. You must find a bank and ride this trend towards insolvency. On the watchlist this week, HDB, HBHC, IBN, LNC, and PNC are getting manhandled. Don’t waste anymore time over this. Act now.Also, keep an eye on Gold, as it is poised to break out soon. The dollar continues to weaken and the Euro is trading at new highs. The miners are/will be following suit here, so you might consider a small amount of exposure to this trend as well. In fact, these stocks represent some of the big moves today, naturally….
