11%. That is nuts.
Honestly, whether or not we hold these gains is irrelevant in my eyes. As long as the price action is mixed up from here, it will make trading the swings so much easier; if swings are reinvented in the market place.
In regards to trading options, I hope you are content trading stocks for the short term. Options are barely tradeable as they stand. In fact, let me give you a quick run down of why options are not worth the expensive price tag…

- Trade The Rally - Likely Run To SPY 110 - Be Careful!
-
Last week, we made history. In the future you will be telling the grandchildren about the 2008 crash. This was the worst one-week decline in history. Friday, the market rebounded sharply in the last hour of trading. Speculators felt that European banks would forge a bailout over the weekend. Fortunately, that came to fruition. The Bank of England bailed out three banks at a cost of about $64 billion. In return, the banks will scrap lucrative bonuses that encouraged risk-taking and they will stop paying dividends. Europe’s central banks said that commercial banks will have access to as much US dollar …

- Buying In-the-Money Options - A Hidden Benefit.
-
In today’s option trading blog I will discuss why I often like to trade in-the-money options. When I find a stock that looks like it will move higher/lower for a few weeks or more, it’s a preferred alternative to taking a position in the stock. Let me explain by using a bullish example. In April I felt that PCAR was an attractive stock that could move higher over the course of the next few months. It had formed a solid base at the $70 level and it had been as high as $75 in 2005. The earnings were very consistent and …

Stocks of all sizes and shapes are trading up today, but which ones will continue to do well if the market holds up?

Those that made the cut did so on the basis of several price factors and several volume factors. The list consists of five technology names (M…

- Overseas Stock Market Up, Can US Sustain?
-
As I’m writing now, overseas stock markets are up. The Hang Seng is up by more than 10% (Nikkei is closed today) and the major European markets are up by at least 4%. The S&P 500 low on Friday was about 40 points away from the 800 support level I mentioned in Where is the Market Bottom?. Its still early to rejoice on this positive market move, but if the US stock market can sustain it and close in the position territory for the first time in many days, then we are one step closer to a possible bounce….
