  • Silver Trade Recommendation

    Silver has seen a very solid bull trend over the past few months and more recently, has been consolidating around the $14.00 level. This consolidation has formed a bull flag and this trade is simply a low cost way to be long an at the money call. To buy the 14.00 call by itself, rather…

  • Dow Trade

    The Dow continues to be propped up by, at this point who really knows, but it is certainly not reality. This market has ignored every red flag we have seen these past few months. You have all heard the saying that says “the bigger they are the harder they fall”, well that is exactly what…

  • Inflation Apparently is a Thing of the Past

    The market continues to push into new territory of all-time and multi-year highs, yet it also appears to be putting positive spins on negative data releases and attaching itself to positive economic data. Housing weakens here; manufacturing slowdown there, retail sales disappoint here and inflation isn’t moderating over here. That is all I heard last…

  • Orange Juice Trade

    OJ is usually a rather quiet market. We have seen this market quietly move up to and through 2.00. This market is thinly traded and has a tendency to pullback after hitting new highs. On the longer term charts you can see that we have just hit very significant long term resistance. This should prove…

  • T-Bond Bulls Regain Technical Momentum

    December U.S. Treasury Bond futures have seen a boost from some bullish U.S. economic data this week, including an FOMC meeting whose results were also deemed friendly for Treasuries. Bulls again have the near-term technical advantage.

  • Oats Trade Recommendation

    Oats are typically the leading indicator for the rest of the grain complex and we are simply suggesting the purchase of these slightly out of the money puts that are very cheap. Grains have been rallying for some time now since the harvest moon, and we are seeing signs of exhaustion in grains at this…

  • The Option Queen Letter

    A question for you, the reader: Answer if you know how to judge when a market is expensive? One way to know if your market is expensive is to note when it is that companies buy other companies for their inflated stock by providing the kicker of a little cash. Think back to the last…

  • Dow Trade Recommendation

    The Dow has rallied for sometime now only to stall just before reaching all time new highs. With the fundamentals of our domestic economy being what they are, it’s amazing that the Dow has held up as well as it has. This market is very ripe for a sell off and could easily fall a…
