Bucket 2: Potential Long-Side in SPY
Little technical here folks, but look at the S&P 500 futures chart below. Note last Friday we retraced and held 50% of the move from Nov1 up to Nov 3. We also have an unfilled gap up above from last week and the 23.6% Fibhonacci extension gets us right up there. A long-side try via […]
Bucket 3 Idea: Short ANF Calls
ANF fell hard (almost 17%) last Thursday as the company announced weak guidance. That has left out of the money calls with good volatility and hence juicy options premium. We are considering selling out of the money calls with January expiration in the name later today. On the weekly chart note the trading range for […]

we closed the rest of our B2 long position in IWM this morning. CSCO hit our first profit target this morning and while our long position in the stock is a Bucket 3 we took a little profits…just good risk management and clears the head.
Long FXE (EUR/USD)
we are long FXE for a Bucket 2 trade targeting 1.38. europe news may have reached a near-term negative extreme that could lead the euro to rally a bit here…before eventually then dropping again.

In conjunction with the EUR/USD previous post on EUR/USD it is conceivable for the dollar to give up more gains in the near-term and an interesting target area to us […]
