Hot Option Plays: Market Is Extended

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 03:19 PM PST

Cusick's Corner
This bullish market still has low volatility and is extended, so strategically traders may want to participate in this environment using spreads. Many bulls are potentially looking to buy at-the-money spreads, because the volatility is relatively cheap, and they do not have to lay out as much cash versus buying the stock outright (check out the Bullish BAC activity in the Midday). To further mitigate the premium risk, also consider selling out-of-the money call spreads. This … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

The Big Lie

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 02:30 PM PST

Republicans are telling Americans a Big Lie, and Obama and the Democrats are letting them. The Big Lie is our economic problems are due to a government that's too large, and therefore the solution is to shrink it.
The truth is our economic problems stem from the biggest concentration of income and wealth at the top since 1928, combined with stagnant incomes for most of the rest of us. The result: Americans no longer have the purchasing power to keep the economy going at full capacity. Since … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Cusick's Corner
Happy 2011 and boy does this market seem happy. This is the time when you really need to be on your toes, do not get complacent.

In a strong trend these indicators can stay at extremes for awhile and the last time that we had action like this was in late 2009 into 2010.
