Expecting dollar futures down to ~96.90 soon I give up on trying to predict the dollar moves. I've been totally wrong, and not sure why I even tried - doesn't look like it affects/correlates to anything anyway. |

ES_F down 12.50. Is it an OPEX day or something?  |

Quite a few big earnings coming up next week, so there's some nervousness.

MSFT up more than 5% (new all time highs)
MCD up more than 3%
RAI up more than 18%
PYPL up more than 4%
ALKS up more than 31%
SKX down more than 15%
GE down more than 1.5%
It's like OPEX on steroids!

VX_F not reflecting this premarket dive at all. I think this will turn out to be an OPEX bear trap. Watch for S&P support 2126.40-2130 (gap fill & FIB supports)

IWM squeeze triggered (failed confirmation of a H&S). Upside 123.30's, then likely higher yet. Currently 120.27

I've been selling some of these pre-earnings options spreads. I won't hold past earnings. On AMGN this morning I was able to sell strikes a full 3 std dev out so they are statistical locks as long as you don't even think of holding past earnings.

I'll be out by Wednesday.
Funny thing, it is like the market maker for those options just realized I was getting a good deal and arbitrarily widened the spread where I'll just go away haha
Selling weekly options over the weekend has been a good deal for me in the past, you get time decay while the football games are on. Usually works

TWTR testing. Support ~16.45 Anyone take a shot at TWTR? Should now retrace some of the down move since my call to short @23.75. TWTR moving too slow for my taste. Use a stop now of 16.89 |

1:38 That's already happening.
I haven't had a "job" since 1996. Not interested in IRA's etc. I don't even keep cash in the bank except for transactional balance.

Sold some FSLR spreads at a good price but that one has wide bid ask spreads. Will hold till expiration, earnings not till Nov 14th I think.

It's sure hard not being full blown bear when looking at the weekly charts of major indices. All began a large topping pattern since Sep '14. If it weren't for the currently bearish VIX related & VIX scam charts, I'd be 100% short already. VXX down 10% this past week alone. Can't risk being short against that kind of action - not quite yet anyway.
