Hot Option Plays: Looking At Potential Earnings Moves Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:16 PM PDT Cusick’s Corner 08-07-2012 The market continued to chop around — wow, no insights there but the offensive sectors, XLE, XLY, XLI and XHB, were all up 2X the S&Ps which is supportive of the bullishness of the market. The Small Caps, IWM and RUT, were both breaking resistance, $80, which again is positive. Lastly, bond yields are moving up and prices down, the continuation of a trade out of bonds into… potentially equities. I am tempering my enthusiasm a little because the Financials, XLF, … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Will The Stock Market Deliver Another Gusher?

Hot Option Plays: Bulls Trying To Hook Momentum Posted: 07 Aug 2012 12:23 PM PDT Cusick’s Corner 08-06-2012 Data will not be a catalyst until the end of the week and the headline risk from the EU might also be tame until then as well. Technicals will be the focus, and right now they are catalyzing this move. The S&Ps have successfully broken back through the trendline to the upside from the May lows. Gold, GLD, has also shown impressive upside holding power really putting the squeeze on any short in this market. The Small Caps, IWM, as I noted Friday need to get through … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Hot Option Plays: Market Has Modest Gains On Light News Posted: 07 Aug 2012 12:23 PM PDT Cusick’s Corner 08-06-2012 As I stated in the Midday, probably not much fundamentally is going to drive the market at this stage of the trading week. We also did not have any headlines. Any bullish set up in a trading day like this one should probably spread off risk, i.e. buy a call and sell an out-of-the-money call against it. You give up upside but it allows you to stay in a trade a little longer than if you just buy the option and then place a stop order on it to close. Running to the … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Hot Option Plays: Summer Trading Posted: 07 Aug 2012 12:23 PM PDT Cusick’s Corner 08-07-2012 Now these are summer markets — the majority of the activity is at the open which then grinds in a tight range for the remainder of the day. The S&Ps (my main benchmark) is supported at 1399 with resistance at 1403. I have been looking at some earnings stocks — Groupon (GRPN) being one of the names reporting. GRPN has big volatility, 172%, with an estimated move using the weekly options of ~.34. This infers that the overall options marketplace is pricing in a … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

RBA Keeps Rates Steady Posted: 07 Aug 2012 12:23 PM PDT Tuesday, August 7, 2012 Currency traders may want to keep a close eye on the interest rate movements of New Zealand, which may influence flow of cash into the Aussie Dollar. Economic projections and the movement of the commodity markets are likely going to be primary outside influences on the Aussie as well. Fundamentals The Australian Dollar has been the main beneficiary during the commodity market rally.
