Top Trading Articles of the Week

[Don’t Let This Market Fool You]( Woo hoo!! The Debt Ceiling crisis was averted. Markets rallied back up above key points. We can all go back to being fat and happy again, right? Not so fast. Don’t let your guard down just yet. We have to see how today plays out to let the market tell us what it is thinking. There is no question the political games in the capital created uncertainty and pulled the rug out of a market that was looking for any excuse to take a break. And yesterday there was excitement that it got resolved, but be sure to read the fine print. Our hard working politicians simply kicked the can down the road and extended the time for debate on this issue. That means more uncertainty until we get a long term resolution to this issue. More uncertainty will most likely mean more volatility and the continuation of a fragile market. Don’t forget, there are a mountain of other things the market is watching as well. These other economic pillars could have an even bigger impact on a market that is already exhausted from a donkey and elephant tug of war. We can see that the Dow pushed above the 10, 100 and even pierced the 50 day moving average. Now we have to watch for confirmation. We saw a similar move two weeks ago that couldn’t get the steam to create another rally.

I teach everyday people (like me) to trade options. I do my best to write in an understandable way as if we are talking over the kitchen table. The market volatility continues. Monday headed up, suggesting the recent drops might have found a bottom and then Tuesday dropped again. It is hard to know the direction the market is going to take from here.

Last week, the market was down 4 days out of 5 trading days. And, then this week started with a down day on Monday and up on Tuesday. Are you dizzy yet? In general, the market still feels fragile as if it is slipping further and further down, yet after each, drop it applies the brakes for a day and price rises. The rise then raises questions as to whether a bottom has been reached. Am going to call Thursday “SPY Day”. Each Thursday, I will focus on what SPY is doing, with the hope it will help give us a clue about the market’s upcoming moves.

Just yesterday the market rebounded to push into positive territory after starting the day in another freefall.

When I was a market-maker, the primary “edge” was the fact that I could buy on the bid and sell on the offer – I could capture the market spread. Certainly, I didn’t capture the market spread every time, but that was the expected positive return that I had. If a market is $0.20 wide and I am on the bid, and buy the option, then I would assume that I would make ½ of the market spread – $0.10 on the market price, which is $10 per contract. But markets are tighter now. Spreads are often $0.01 or $0.02 wide. The “edge” for the market-maker relies on making $0.005 over and over all day. OR, for those of us that aren’t spending millions of dollars to have the fastest data feeds and best execution strategies as the market-makers and the high frequency traders, we can go out and find a way to have a different “edge.” We will never get the “edge” of a market-maker. The spread is something that we simply pay to the market-maker to get the position that we want to hold. We will never buy quantities of tomatoes at the same price as the local grocery store, and thus we pay that grocer to hold an inventory of fresh tomatoes so that we can buy 1 or 2 at a reasonable price. And the grocer will make a little bit of money for taking the risk of holding that inventory. To get our “edge,” we must understand that if we see something else that causes a mis-pricing, we can and should take advantage.

Last week, the market had a huge dropped 4 days out of 5. And this week continued the downward slide. The Nasdaq has the highest % drop as tech stocks tumbled. We will continue to watch how the week plays out. To review past equity candidates, scroll down.
