- Use SPY 126 As Your Option Trading Guide!

Every year I visit the Trade Free Zone (not to be confused with the Free Trade Zone). For the rest of July I will be turning my computer screens off so that I can decompress. This helps me to regain a fresh market perspective. I am expecting lots of action this fall and I will hit it hard when I return. At the end of this post I have left you with a set of standing instructions. Wednesday, the market posted its first decent rally in weeks. Wells Fargo, Northern Trust and Charles Schwab posted good numbers and that helped to …

- How I Trade Options - Form An Opinion - Magnitude
-
At this stage I’ve nailed down the stock and I’m firm on the direction. Now I have to determine the magnitude of the move. Historical volatility, long-term technical support and resistance levels, relative valuation and overall market conditions guide me. Historical volatility - If the stock has had a habit of making large moves, there is a likelihood that the pattern will continue. Conversely, if a stock has a nice orderly grind to it, the chance of an explosive move is small. Long term technical support and resistance levels - These areas represent resting points for a stock. They include trend …

- ETF Securities Goes on Bull Run With Commodities
-
For an exchange traded fund (ETF) provider that didn’t exist at this time five years ago, the story of ETF Securities is certainly an impressive one.
The London-based provider, which deals in exchange traded commodities (ETCs) started two years ago with $60 million in assets. After the first year, the number of assets had grown to $2.5 billion. Today, they’re at $10.5 billion and are Europe’s largest ETF provider.

- ETNs Wanting for Investor Attention
-
So far, this has been the year of the exchange traded note (ETN). Investment banks and fund providers have been lining them up in the market in droves.
But how come investors haven’t been lining up in droves to buy them? Most ETNs have fewer than $100 million in assets: 78 of the 89 available ones fall under that mark. The ETN marketplace collectively has $7.2 billion, however.

Things look relatively stable today considering the onslaught of bad earnings reports and forecasts last night. The Nasdaq is obviously taking the worse end of it, but so far we haven’t seen a big turn. Keep in mind it is early.No major rallies in crude yet, which has kept the market is boring territory. The dollar is trading relatively stable at support, and Gold prices are off a few bucks. In short, just another boring options expiration Friday….
