- Bounce Or Breakdown - We’ll Know Soon - The Option Trading Approach!
-
It has been a tough week for the market. After another failed rally, the SPY was turned back from the $98 level. Now, it stands at the lows from last week and the $88 level needs to hold to preserve any hopes of a market bounce. Fortunately, the credit markets have stabilized and they are showing some signs of improvement. The LIBOR rates continue to drift lower and banks are conducting business with each other. This was a major hurdle for central banks. We were on the verge of a financial collapse and for the time being, that bullet has been …

- Global ETFs Hit Especially Hard In Slowdown - Now What?

More Cowbell - video powered by MetacafeYou know what they say. If Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we ought to give him more cowbell.But seriously.Not doing a whole lot. Bought some puts in a few double ultra inverses. Kind of like going to 11 on the amps to steal another overused bit. And shorting “regulars” into strength, a convoluted long delta/long gamma play. For lack of a truly better idea as the rally is somewhat pathetic and I can’t go *short* here in the midst of the bottoming process.

- Rare Batman Pattern Forming in VIX
-
Just as it seemed as if the end of the world was nearing, I am pleased to report a rare Batman pattern forming in the VIX (and in the implied volatility of the SPX and SPY). The chart below shows the right wing formed two weeks ago, just as panic was first setting in; the head was completed last week, when the situation looked most bleak; and now the left wing is taking shape as the forces of good seek to gain the upper hand over the forces of evil. …

Rob at Quantifiable Edges takes a look at the old “stretched VIX” rule, namely, what happens when the VIX (well, he uses VXO, but same idea) moves beyond 10% below it’s 10 Day MA. A basic rule states that this means the VXO is oversold, and hence the market is overbought,. And thus is bearish….

- Closed MON Covered Call and Sold a New Naked Put
-
Two days ago I sold covered calls on MON on top of the 100 shares I own (long). Today I bought those calls back for a profit. While MON was trading at $79.93 a few minutes after opening this morning I bought to close my MON November 90 covered call (MONKU) for $3.20 and paid $330.74 with commissions. Originally I sold the call and received $539.25. That left me with a realized profit of $208.51. MON has fallen $15.00 since I sold the call two days ago, so clearly a better move would have been to buy a put.

Why would an investor pick one stock, when he or she could instead pick 75 in an exchange traded fund (ETF)? Beats us.
