Hot Option Plays: Volatility Pulls Back?

Posted: 02 Aug 2012 04:04 PM PDT

Cusick’s Corner 08-02-2012
The bid did attempt a push after the strong selling this morning but never really got enough momentum other than keeping the market off the lows. One reason for today’s movement may be the Jobs report in the morning and another may be due to the current lack of global government intervention. Here is what’s interesting — the Dollar, bonds, and equities are all up ticking and volatility down ticking into the close of the day. I will be monitoring any pullbacks … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

In a Financial Times op-ed, “Brace For an Era of Crisis Aftershocks,” David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist of Gluskin Sheff, serves up a shot of what some might call anti-hopium.
