As long-duration owners of common stock, we believe it is the wealth created by the businesses which causes the owners to prosper. We have also been participants in the US stock market since 1980 and are very aware of big swings in enthusiasm for owning common stocks. So we thought it would be helpful to share our opinion on the current temperature of the market. To take the temperature of the market we need to examine the thermometer readings.

Hey SD - those 2p 15600 calls from yesterday must be looking pretty good right now.

postman the word is out today similiar calls are 20p, but on the brightside they can be financed by sell 35p puts

Postman they are daily calls so would have expired 85 ish

they have an 8 hour "sell by date" thats why they are so cheap

but 2p to 84p

if IG were smart they would bring the spread in on these products, great way of hedging a postion

Please dont ridicule me too much but I have gone short on the Dow at 15725.
Its at its all time high Again. - might get 5 or 10 points if I'm lucky.

That's the danger sign, isn't it?

so we keep an eye on daily lows and watch for a break.

Vix is 13 realized vol is 10.55

Well I went short and the best thing I can say is - its not going UP as fast as it was.
If it breaks 738 then I'm out, or if it hasnt gone down within the next 10 minutes.

More rare than sightings of Big Foot surfing behind Nessie on Loch Ness.
A lower Low.
The end is nigh.

My SHORT on the DOW is in the money.

All we need now is for a NFP number over 300K then hold on to your hats.
