- Positive Divergence in SPY Chart
-

Here’s a look at the SPDR Trust (AMEX:SPY) chart. I’m using the SPY chart because it reflects the gapping action (see the empty spaces in between candlesticks), unlike S&P 500 index….

- This Rally Should Have Legs - Sell Out-of-the-Money Puts and Buy Out-of-the-Money Calls!
-
Yesterday, the market finally staged the type of rally we’ve been looking for. Prices opened higher early in the day and after a brief attempt at a selloff, the market screamed higher the rest of the day. In prior weeks, a higher gap opening would have attracted sellers and they would have been able to push the market down. The fact that the market was able to rally into the close and hold those gains today is encouraging. All eyes are on the FOMC meeting today and a half-point rate cut is expected. Interest rates around the world are falling as …

- Is the Fear Bubble Bursting?
-
There have been quite a few bubbles and mini-bubbles that have burst over the past year or so. A short list would probably include China; housing; oil; fertilizer; solar; dry bulk carriers; etc. What about a fear bubble? We have overshot on just about everything else, so maybe it’s time we overshot the whole business of overshooting. Fear and volatility have become so much a part of the everyday existence for those who work in the investment world that it is all too easy to take them for granted. …

- Some VIX Answers
-
Some good material regarding the “cash” and “trading” VIX in this video from Options Monster.One is a topic that comes up left and right; Can you trade the “cash” VIX.The answer is no, and there are a variety of reasons why I suspect it will always be no. The VIX is a statistic, and subject to blips. And quirks such as bid ups ahead of news and selloffs ahead of holidays. Et. al.Another topic that comes up speaks a bit to the first question. Namely, what’s with all the bizarro ticks in the VIX….
