Still overseas. What was originally supposed to be a two week trip has turned into a 7 month trip already, thanks to Covid and poor health of my parents. Anyway, I'm now geared up for trading from here and will start sharing some of my insights.

Important: They bought the 310 6/29 calls doesn't mean the mkt gets there - they can take it up a little higher and for example, sell the 308 calls against it. There are all kinds of games which get played / ways to play options so don't start loading up on the 310 calls @ open.


Correction - Its important 4 the bulls to keep this above 3050 level today

$ES $SPX $SPY BA = Balance area 4 = 200 day sma 5 = Spike 6 = Poor high Yellow dashed lines = Monthly S&R lines Its important 4 the bulls to keep this above 3055 level today There was good amount of call buying at the lows yesterday. The went aggressively after 310-6/29 calls

$ES $SPY $SPX 1 2& 3 All represent balance areas & mkt is stuck in zone 2. We have ATHs in the QQQs / NDX. So a fair bit of divergence coming into play between QQQ/SPY. This can't continue and something has to give. Expiration of SPY & SPX today Mkt will move a fair bit

For some reason, my comments related to profile never went thru. My take prior 2 mkt opening, was mkt would not be able to move into the gap area & fill it...lets see what happens...will do a better job of ensuring comments get posted going fwd.. rusty after months of no activity


$VIX $SPY $SPX $QQQ $AAPL $MSFT $AMZN Although the presidential elections are still 5 months away, a VIX Call spread 65/100 strikes being initiated in 11/18 expiration! 40K/40K It appears (based on trade structure) this is a form of buying cheap protection


$SPY $SPX $QQQ $AAPL $MSFT $AMZN This Friday is triple witching expiration and the day tends to be relatively choppy. Consider closing your options positions which expire on Friday by thursday evening. Also, SPY pays dividend and the value of your calls will drop Friday AM


Buybacks! Low interest rates = increased debt offerings = more buybacks. This play book has been deployed very effectively since 2008-2009.

$BAC $JPM $C It's a good thing they are being so cautious already. They seem to have learnt their lessons well from 2008. US banking sector is much healthier this time and in a good position to weather this storm as compared to 2008/2009
