- A Fix on the VIX
-
If you are an option trader, I am sure you’ve had the VIX on your radar since it initially started climbing past 26. Back then that level was concerning, now I wish it were anywhere near that level.
This high volatility environment has option prices overly inflated, which in combination with the widening of bid ask spreads over the last several weeks has made it difficult to trade options. However, I am seeing some positive changes in the elements that lead me to believe that trading options will start to get easier shortly.

- Sold MON, CHK & DRYS Covered Calls and one Naked Put
-
Today I’m feeling a little vindicated in my theory that missed the mark a little yesterday. The markets were down some for the day. I’m pulling some profit back in on covered calls I sold yesterday. With the reality settling in that the path back up won’t be a straight vertical line I sold more covered calls on my remaining uncovered long stocks. In doing so, I lowered my margin balance down to $3,298.35….

The stock market has been through a few nosedives, free-falls and sharp reversals, sending stocks, investors and exchange traded funds (ETFs) on a wild ride.
Whatever you want to call the swings, there is a way to measure this: the VIX, otherwise known as the Chicago Board Options Exchange……

- The Market Feels Heavy Today - Stay Long - Use Stops.
-
Yesterday, the market started off on a positive note and it rallied throughout the day. The SPY 100 level represents minor resistance. If we can break through that, I believe we will test the 110 level by the end of the month. Credit markets are easing and the spreads are coming in. The actions by central banks around the world are starting to take hold. Confidence is on the mend and banks are lending money to each other. We were very close to a full-blown financial collapse and that reality will keep banking officials on their toes. A financial collapse would …

- As Banks See Shift, So Could Financial ETFs

The financial exchange traded fund (ETF) landscape has already changed significantly this year in the wake of bank mergers, takeovers and bankruptcies. But if the Treasury Department has its way, there could still be plenty more to come.
Wall Street has pulled back today, despite the fact that the……

- ETF Investors Bullish on Dollar, Yen

The bullish dollar exchange traded fund (ETF) has been on a tear in recent months and is one of the few standouts in a sea of red.
The PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish (UUP) is up 14.7% for the last three months, and is up 8.1% year-to-date.
The good times might continue, as the dollar is……

OK, AAPL volatility low 90’s, high 80’s, depending upon where you look. Ended up just selling both call and put OTM verticals, more puts than calls though. So rooting for the market to cheerlead the always great earnings and bad guidance and rooting for King Steve to show up on videophone and do pushups and threaten Billy Crystal a la J…

- VIX Drops 20% in One Day…Again
-
Sometimes a big move in the VIX is significant and sometimes it is a lot harder to interpret. On the surface, yesterday’s 24.7% drop in the VIX – the second largest one day move down in percentage terms – appears to fall in the latter category. From 1990 through 2005 the VIX fell 20% on only two trading days: once in 1993 and once again in 1994 (see green arrows in top graphic). Each instance signaled a bottom and about a three week bounce. The markets then moved up sharply in 1995, but it is a large stretch to say that the VIX offered any signal about a move that was at least nine months away. …

Where logic takes over, it would be reasonable to assume that the entire banking and financial sector, and related shares and exchange traded funds (ETFs), would be battered alike.
The majority of the banking beating took place in 2007, but Gary Gordon for ETF Expert thinks that KBW Regional Banks……

- Whole Foods (NASDAQ:WFMI): Downgraded to Underperform with a $9.50 tgt - Jefferies
-
Jefferies is out with a pretty significant negative call on Whole Foods (NASDAQ:WFMI) lowering their tgt to Underperform from Buy while lowering their tgt to $9.50 from $23.The macro climate, always the greatest risk with WFMI, has worsened measurably in the five weeks since the firm launched coverage and now looks to be overwhelming the company’s ability to drive even flat comps in 4Q08 and FY09. They have lowered their estimates, accordingly, as increased reliance on the macros (~50% correlation with employment) and near total lack of visibility on consumer spending or WFMI’s demand elasticity leave them unable to recommend ownership of the shares….

Now that the bear market is officially behind us, time to focus on earnings reactions again. And tonight, it’s the always interesting Apple.It’s either tricky or pointless in this environment to try to hazzard a guess as to what the market expects for an earnings reaction. The old earnings spikes took AAPL options to about a 60 volatility ahead of the number. Now it’s in the mid 90’s, so it would need a gigantic options crush just to get to the old highs….

As the markets and exchange traded funds (ETFs) remain decidedly bearish, investors often wonder if there’s anything they can do.
While no one has the power to turn things back around or make a bear a bull again, the one thing everyone has the power to do is to control their own reaction. We……
