The Dow lagged behind the two other major indexes as blue-chip stocks have traded sideways for about two weeks. That said, the 50-day moving average is still below the major indexes including the Russell 2000. With all-time highs being set or bullish bases being held, a bullish to non-bearish bias on the overall market continues to make sense. Implied volatility remained pretty much the same from the previous week with option prices staying on the low side of things. Traders and investors will get some time off this week due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday. Generally, implied volatility levels are even lower for short weeks of expiration.
