Market Direction Outlook For June 19 2013 - The Fed Again

The market direction move higher today was stronger than I had anticipated when I indicated in yesterday’s market direction that the direction was more up than down. It was basically all up today but most of it was not so much based on sound economic growth or terrific economic numbers. Instead it was based on a belief that the Fed will remain accommodative still longer with the Quantitative Easing program and indeed there is a lot of evidence that the interest rates being near zero is having a positive effect especially on housing. / Read More

Market Direction Intraday For June 18 2013 - Intel, Microsoft, Visa, McDonalds, DuPont

The market direction outlook I discussed last night was for the markets to keep pushing higher and that’s what we are seeing today. Intraday the DOW is up 130 points at the time of my writing this, the S&P up 12 and the NASDAQ up 29. Investors have obviously baked in that the Fed will not be ending Quantitative Easing any time soon. So with that worry seemingly out-of-the-way the market direction is humming along as it pushes higher and leaves behind all those bears who thought, “finally this rally will end.” You / Read More

Market Direction Outlook For June 18 2013 - More Up Than Down

The market direction outlook for the start of this week was for the market to continue to hold the 1600 level in the S&P 500 and move higher. The gyrations over the past few days though show that investors are jittery and anxious. The movement of the market direction up over 100 points one day, then down over 100 points the next, then back up show the typical fear that investors have. The fear of missing out on a rally and the fear of being caught in a downturn. Today’s market opening jump / Read More

Put Selling Profits With Intel Stock

Last year Intel Stock was filling my portfolio with profits as it moved higher. Put Selling worked wonders last year until I missed the signals that Intel Stock was going to pull back. The pullback saw the stock fall more than 33% until it stalled out just slightly under $20. At one point, all of my naked puts were deep in the money as Put Selling so many put option contracts had left me with over 10% of my portfolio stuck in Intel Stock.

Market Direction Outlook for June 17 2013 - Still Holding Above 1600

In my market direction intraday comments on Friday I wrote how despite all the media hype, this remains a shallow correction and until 1600 breaks on the S&P 500 I see little to be concerned about. Friday was another good example. While the media was hyped up on the decline following Thursday’s big bounce back, the actual market direction was seen in the market direction technical indicators at the close of Wednesday. On that day I wrote how the market should bounce back and then fall lower. Along came Thursday and the market / Read More

In The Money Naked Puts and 3 Rescue Strategies

Sometimes when investors sell naked puts they assume a stock is in a long-term uptrend only to find out that it is not.  When the stock falls, the investor ends up with in the money naked puts that are often deep and at risk of assignment. Recently an investor wrote to me regarding his KMP Stock (Kinder Morgan Energy Partners Stock) which he had sold puts at, watched the stock pull back and failed to act quickly to protect himself from losses.
