3 Sentiment Ratios for the Pandemic Anniversary

[Option Beast]( 03/27/2021   |   [View in browser]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [3 Sentiment Ratios for the Pandemic Anniversary]( As the harrowing date of the pandemic anniversary has come and gone, bond yield fears have continued to grip Wall Street. Even after last week's Fed meeting -- which saw Fed Chair Jerome Powell reinforce the central bank's dovish policy for at least two years -- the 10-year Treasury yield jumped 11 basis points to 1.75% promptly one day later, the highest level since January 2020. The push-and-pull of bond yields the last month has created a level of choppiness in tech, alternative energy, and other growth success stories. Here at Schaeffer's, one of the unique sentiment indicators we track is the 10-day equity-only buy-to-open put/call volume ratio -- compiled by our quantitative analysis team using data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX). This metric reflects the number of puts bought to open, relative to calls, on the three major options exchanges over a roughly two-week trading period.

About 127 million relief payments have been distributed so far, worth around $325 billion. But no matter how many batches go out, investing legend Warren Buffett will never get a stimulus check. It's not because his net worth recently brushed $100 billion.

There are many ways retirees can save real dollars by reviewing current costs and scoring tax credits, among other things. Some of the savings are small but can add up over time-say, renegotiating a cellphone bill or lawn-care service. And some are big one-time discounts or rebates for big-ticket expenses like energy-related projects or purchases. Financial advisors say savers should exert their influence as loyal customers to negotiate and score better rates. Often firms will knock off 5% or 10% when a longtime customer asks. If that doesn't happen, sometimes calling to cancel might also bring up a fresher price. Michael Kojonen, founder of Principal Preservation Services, says he does this at times with his TV and internet provider and has recommended it to his clients, who've also had success. "I haven't heard anybody who hasn't received a discount," he says.
