Market Caught In Political Crosswind - Sell Your Puts If This Happens Today
One Option Trading Blog https://ift.tt/2J3u5tX Posted 9:30 AM ET - Yesterday the market probed for support below the 100-day moving average. Buyers stepped in late in the day and losses were pared. An early rally this morning has the SPY back to the 100-day MA this morning. Dark clouds are looming and any surprise still favors the downside. This is a low probability trading environment. Italy was the "crisis du jour" yesterday. Yields spiked and credit concerns are back on the radar. The selling abated overnight, but their government does not have a ruling coalition and elections are needed. Spain is in a similar situation. Trump …

One Option Trading Blog https://ift.tt/2JaeBYr Posted 9:30 AM ET - Last week I told you that any surprise favors the downside. Many dark clouds are looming and we had another lightning strike. Bond yields in Italy and Spain have spiked and credit risk is on the rise. The S&P 500 is trading below major support at the 100-day moving average before the open. We should see a heavy dose of selling today. Credit risk is the one thing that can lead to sustained market declines. Yields have not reached critical levels, but PIIGS are once again on the radar.

In case your kids have been asking, how dangerous are the Pacific Northwest's volcanos?
These volcanoes don’t typically explode without warning. They have a baseline of earthquake, ground deformation and gas activity, even when they aren’t erupting. The pattern of that activity can be a clue to what will happen next.
Maybe tell them it's the earthquakes they should be freaked out about.
