Q: How have stocks performed in the past when the indexes are down 20% or more over the last year on the close on the day before Halloween?
A:
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) - According to the 9 previous occurrences of this event, EventEdge indicates that DJIA.t has shown a very strong bearish edge that peaks 19 trading days after the event. Thus, the projected date for the peak of the bearish edge relative to the current event date (Thursday, 30 October 2008) is Wednesday, 26 November 2008. DJIA.t declines in 100% of the cases (9 of 9) by an average of -6.4% relative to the close on the event date. The overall return of the 9 cases is -6.4%, which, based on the close of DJIA.t on the event date (9180.69), provides a target price of 8593.13.
S&P 500 Index (SPX) - According to the 6 previous occurrences of this event, SPX has shown a somewhat bearish edge that peaks 39 trading days after the event.

SPX declines in 83% of the cases (5 of 6) by an average of -14.2% relative to the close on the event date. The average of the 1 rally is 8.5%.

NASDAQ Composite Index (NASD) - According to the 4 previous occurrences of this event, COMP has shown a very strong bullish edge that peaks 4 trading days after the event.

COMP rallies in 100% of the cases (4 of 4) by an average of 4.6% relative to the close on the event date.

The beauty about OPTIONS is that of Volatility. With the VIX at current levels, Option traders are having a field day in capturing and realizing profits.

This weeks trading strategy involved a pure straddle concept around APPLE, Inc. With 52 week lows across the board call premiums are slowly but surely diminishing. We love our oversold positioning around this volatility.

JIM CRAMER asks the question how far down will we go....!!! READ HERE For more info

Cramer’s got a new issue he’s taking up with Washington: FDIC deposit insurance.

The Mad Money host wants the $100,000 limit upped to as much as $2.5 million, with additional protection available at a percentage cost.

Banks runs are taking place under the radar, he said, and this is the best way to stop it.

Even corporate and trust accounts need protection. Chief financial officers, lawyers, the wealthy – they’re all pulling their money from savings accounts and asking for T-bills. As a bank’s deposits evaporate, so too does its ability to lend, i.e., make money. This will continue until Congress agrees on a bailout deal.

AGGRESSIVE TRADES OF THE MONTH!!! OIH !!! APPLE!!! BIDU!!! and now ????

The recent, staggering bull run in the Shanghai Stock Exchange [SSE] has many investors comparing Shanghai’s market with that of the .com bull run of the late 90’s. I believe many of the comparisons are valid. It took the Shanghai Composite Index roughly two years to rise from 1000 to 2000, yet only a few months to rise from 3000 to 4000.
Local newspapers in China are constantly reporting that new daily records are being set for the number of brokerage accounts being opened by individual investors.
All of the bullish news being released from China about its GDP growth, foreign investment and private equity markets has me asking how much longer can the SSE continue to rise? This question has me revisiting the three typical stages of a bull run. Here is a summary the three stages, without going into great depth:
Stage 1 typically finds contrarian investors entering the market as it hits a bottom. Stage 2 is typically when institutional investors enter the market and the media picks up coverage of the bull run. Stage 3 is typically when the individual investor catches wind of the investment opportunity.
In Shanghai, I believe we are definitely at the market's last legs. I expect to see another 10-25% upside in the market over the next 6 months to 1 year. The momentum in the press is strong in China. There is a common belief shared in the housing and the stock market in China, that the central government in Beijing will do its best to avert any major economic downswings prior to the olympics in 2008. Hot stocks like Baidu.com Inc. (Nasdaq: BIDU), Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (Nasdaq: CTRP) and China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (NYSE: SNP) have become watercooler and cocktail party chat.

COMMODITY BOOM + ECONOMIC DOOM = EASY OPTIONS PUTS!

MARKET CRIME WAVE!! EASY MONEY this month! The Optionster believes this month will contain super volatility. The commodities boom is showing real weakness after a 2 Quarter super spike. READ THIS!
http://www.northstarwriters.com/lk053.htm
We have identified OIL as the most aggressive player in this sector. Analyst have agreed that this super spike and serious economic consumption cutbacks will bring in serious volatility to this bullish oil trade. The OPTIONSTER community recommends to buy puts into rallies. Estimates of up to 40% premium in the price of a barrel of oil . (OIH) Oil Service Holders is our favorite trade due to its inherent market exposure to stocks. USO is another one with less market exposure and a more direct price point based on the actual Western Intermediate spot oil futures contracts. AND YES WE ARE AT HIGHS!!!

BLUEHORSESHOE loves AAPL PUTS!!! WHy!!!

Every sector has felt the mounting US economic pressures in relation to discretionary spending. This trade has resisted most of this pressure by maintaining guidance outlooks throughout this period. Speculators our counting on that to change after the release of the new IPHONE and the earnings release later this month! THE OPTIONSTER has identified a 40% premium from 52 week highs and lows. Thats the numbers!

The other theory is that of the IPHONE function ability and its target audience's needs. This is a great phone no doubt but ignores the fundamental issues of women consumers and youth needs in the area of text messaging and pricing. WOMEN with fingers nails have issues with its all touch screen functions. The younger population has converted into an all TEXT message group. This leads them into phones like the SIDEKICK and Blackberry. Sounds trivial and funny but the streets don't lie!

The good news that's over the top is about the new iPhone. It's going to set the world on fire once it's released, according to all the experts.

This leaves me as perhaps the only mainstream naysayer, since I remain skeptical that Apple (or anyone else for that matter) can jump into the deep end of the mobile-phone swimming pool without knowing how to swim.

So here is the latest I've heard, and it comes from yet another industry insider.

I got a call last night. "I think it's time to sell Apple short," said the voice.

"I think that's premature," I responded. "What have you heard?"

"The keyboard is a disaster, and people are going to return the phone in droves. I'm guessing 20% will go back."

Polar Bear Market! Dow Jones

Could there be an oil "bubble''? Well, yes. In early 2002 oil sold for roughly $20 a barrel; now it's close to $75. The main cause lies in tightening supply and demand -- and the fact that supply (as the present Middle East fighting reminds us) could be interrupted at any time. Old-fashioned speculation may also have played a role, and that raises the possibility of a bubble. But any bubble would be a peculiar beast, and if it burst and prices dropped significantly, we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking that this might signal a new era of comfortable abundance. It wouldn't.

http://www.wtrg.com/daily/crudeoilprice.html

In financial bubbles, prices become disconnected from "fundamentals." At the height of the tech bubble, stocks of dot-com companies with no profits (and little prospect for them) sold at fabulous prices. By contrast, oil prices aren't unhinged from "fundamentals." Despite all the griping, gasoline is still affordable. Even at $3 a gallon, it costs Americans only about 4 percent of their disposable income, reports economist Nigel Gault of Global Insight. The same is true globally. At $105 a barrel, global crude sales would total about $2.2 trillion annually; that's still a tiny share of the $50 trillion world economy.

YAHOO goes BANANAS! VOLATILITY has shown its ugly face. The Optionster is playing this one to win!
We feel bearish! This deal is huge for the future of the web business. That equals huge potential for outrageous returns!

Yahoo's board will reject Microsoft's $44.6 billion takeover bid after concluding the unsolicited offer undervalues the slumping Internet pioneer, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The decision could provoke a showdown between two of the world's most prominent technology companies.

[MSFT 28.56 0.44 (+1.56%) ] could try to override Yahoo's [YHOO 29.2 0.16 (+0.55%) ] board by taking its offer -- originally valued at $31 per share -- directly to the shareholders. Pursuing that risky route probably will require Microsoft to attempt to oust Yahoo's current 10-member board.

Alternatively, Microsoft could sweeten its bid. Many analysts believe Microsoft is prepared to offer as much as $35 per share for Yahoo, which still boasts one of the Internet's largest audiences and most powerful advertising vehicles despite a prolonged slump that has hammered its stock.

Yahoo's board reached the decision after exploring a wide variety of alternatives during the past week, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press. The person didn't want to be identified because the reasons for Yahoo's rebuff won't be officially spelled out until Monday morning.

Microsoft and Yahoo declined to comment Saturday on the decision, first reported by The Wall Street Journal on its Web site.

The Fed Meeting this week is going to really set some things in motion! We have two scenarios! Each with big money plays for sideline players.
Scenario 1) Anticipated 3/4 Point cut, will set market in motion for bullish trends. Tech sector being the most oversold will absorb most of its gain in a huge NASDAQ rally... time frame unknown...
2)Less than 3/4 point, will confirm markets dead cat bounce! Overvalued puts will continue to pay out handsomely.
The plays are simple. Heavy hedges in cheap oversold calls and insurance valued puts in out the money financials, tech, etc... More conservative political moves call for LEAP Healthcare and Staples plays.

2007-12-31T08:20:00.000-08:00

The beautiful world of success is sometimes compared to the most intimate components of human life!

It sounds almost too good to be true.
Wall Street's bull wants to run in 2008, but its success will depend on whether the U.S. economy avoids recession and the credit crunch continues to ease.
There's a growing chorus of investors who believe U.S. stocks will outperform other markets next year. In the week ahead, big investors will start to put on new trades for 2008, and while they see the market moving forward, they also see lots of volatility.
Look at the past year.
Really, it wasn't too shabby a performance by U.S. equities, if you consider the high level of volatility and current conditions: There's still a credit crunch; earnings growth is slowing; the housing market is in recession, oil and other commodities are hitting highs, and the dollar is near record lows. Plus, there's the threat the U.S. economy could go tumbling into recession.
But the view of many big investors is that the stock market will continue to move ahead in 2008, and in fact, will fare better than some other investment choices. These investors believe recession will be avoided, slower earnings growth is already in valuations, and the financial companies will clean house -- transforming themselves into attractive market leaders once more.
Of course, the Fed has to accommodate by cutting rates to keep markets and the economy moving.

For specific options plays check out
http://www.theoptionster.com

or Talk to the OPTIONSTER TEAM on Myspace!!

Believe me, this was not the view we heard a few weeks ago, when the credit crunch drove fear through November's markets. But as investors review the year ahead, there's a more bullish tone than we might have expected to hear.
The Dow last week was off 0.63 percent, but it held gains of 7.24 percent for the year. The Nasdaq is up 10.7 percent for the year after losing 0.65 percent for the week, and the S&P 500 is up 4.24 percent on the year, after losing 0.40 percent for the year.
Credit un-Crunching?
David Kotok, chief investment officer for Cumberland Advisers, sees the credit crisis easing in '08, which he says means the economy will experience just a mild downturn, not a recession. If that's so, the U.S. market will be more attractive than some other developed-nation equities markets.
"I think the U.S. economy turns north before the other advanced economies. They're trailing," Kotok said.
Consider the view of some institutional investors, surveyed recently by both Merrill Lynch and Citigroup. When Citi asked its biggest clients which group would outperform global equities markets, managers by a wide majority -- some 28 percent -- put U.S. stocks at the top of the list, followed by about 16 percent for Asia/Pacific emerging markets. Third was Japanese equities.
At the bottom of the barrel: bonds, European equities and private equity in that order.
Merrill Lynch's global managers weren't so decisive on U.S. stocks, but still they saw opportunity.
In its study, 32 percent surveyed told Merrill they would overweight U.S. stocks in the next 12 months, but 25 percent said they saw the U.S. stock market as the most overvalued. These fund managers were moving away from European equities, strong performers in 2007.
Kotok, a CNBC contributor, also believes the financial companies will flush out their problems in the coming quarter, helping their performance. He's not alone: We've seen a flurry of comments from analysts who say they are dipping into financials.
In the Citi study, institutions said the best performing sectors in the next year would be tech, then financials. In the case of financials, it's hard to see them getting worse. You may recall we spoke to J.P. Morgan's chief U.S. equities strategist Thomas Lee a few weeks ago, and his view was that the financials would lead the stock market higher next year.
Econorama
The first week of the year gets off to a busy start with some major data. First on New Year's Eve, existing home sales for November is the last piece of key data before year's end. The bond market closes early that day but stock exchanges are open until 4pm ET as usual. Obviously, markets are all closed on Jan. 1.
The most important data point of the week is December's jobs report, reported Friday at 8:30am ET. Consensus expectations have fallen to an anemic 50,000 from a prior estimate of 94,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate is expected to move to 4.8 percent from 4.7 percent.
Other important data includes December ISM manufacturing data Wednesday morning, and the minutes of the FOMC's December monetary policy meeting, released Wednesday at 2pm ET.
On Thursday, ADP's preview jobs data is released, as are jobless claims and factory orders for December. ISM non-manufacturing data is also released Friday.
Big on the economic agenda is the speech by Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn Friday at 3:30pm ET. He speaks on macroeconomic policy to a conference for economists in New Orleans.
Oil Drill
Oil closed out the week at $96 per barrel, up 2.9 percent. Gasoline was up 3.4 percent for the week at $2.4597 per gallon, and heating oil climbed 1.1 percent to $2.6370 per gallon.
Gold was up 3.3 percent for the week to $839.60.
Treasurys saw buying this week. The yield on the 10-year fell to 4.098 percent and the two-year was at 3.128 percent Friday afternoon.
The dollar fell 2.4 percent against the euro for the week. Late Friday, the dollar was $1.4716 per euro. The dollar also fell against the yen, losing 1.4 percent for the week.

The Optionster trades Fannie Mae ahead of this monster decision! Market sentiment has seemed to change. We observe this by slight moves in the CBOE ( VIX) ahead and/or key market news alerts. The market seems to be responding less aggressively with the release of negative news and more aggressive on positive news! This is a good indicator that inflationary rates will move the markets. Global banks are preparing for market slow downs and cutting rates. http://www.cnbc.com/id/5993188/for/cnbc/

The Optionster Guru has identified huge potential positions for this weeks trades at the 13,000 level. The 13,000 level places the market at May prices! This is the beginning of a balancing act that many fundamentalist have been predicting since that time. All major indices have fallen off there highs. This is a clear trend reversal. Factors such as weakening dollar, credit sentiment, subprime markets, overvalued real estate pricing, inflation, and wage gaps will take a toll on corporate earnings at some point.
The Optionster has located the best hedges for this type of situation.
Apple, Inc is a niche company that has the momentum to weather the fiercest of the markets downturns. The volatility on this one will definitely reward the savvy investor with signifigant returns. OIH is also rallying as the barrel price approaches 100. The pullback from that level will pay handsomely.

The Optionster has predicted the markets positioning for weeks now! The game is getting tough but our analyst have predicted this 4th Quarter to be most aggressive quarter of 2007!!

VIX ( Volatility Index) is hovering around 52 week all time highs! This is creating huge spreads in our options entry and exit points.

The recent woes in the credit markets have opened up the doors for more volatility leading to future earnings cuts in all major brokerage houses and institutional investors. These woes are furthered by a struggling consumer! Read this article : http://www.cnbc.com/id/21835890 .

This 4th Quarter is a critical battle field for the Goldi Locks Soft landing Bernanke and friends have been trying to create. The bad news is that the euphoric nature of the markets have led to a huge valuation problem when dealing with future inflation and rate cut interpretations. This translates into a huge opportunity to locate plays that will not only react aggressively to this environment but also create trading funnels.

Stuck or Stock! Positioning for Volatility: Apple, Inc and Yahoo

2007-09-18T01:41:00.000-07:00

With runs on the bank looming for months ahead, tech plays and internet based revenue streams have seemed to play a safer hedge.
The Optionster has followed Yahoo, Inc as it broke through its 52 week high in March. We also profited heavily on the previous MSFT buyout rumor. This rumor is alive and well as corporate paper rates connect to this credit crunch. Yahoo seems to be poised to turnaround in an environment like this. This company has been reorganized from the top down, with a new focus. Ad-based concepts to rival GOOG and MSN for online traffic and advertising space has been showing positive gains for Yahoo's new executive team. Options volume is increasing with this hype with heavy call side orders passing through the PHLX and ISE. These are some of our associates best call side entry exchanges. We will be long YHOO toward the end of the FED hype into the fall season as online activity picks up. Go YAHOO for YHOO!

Apple!
This stock has amazed the markets with it's 1 millionths I Phone sale.. Analyst are still pessimistic as economic concerns turn consumers away from items priced at this range. Our position is simple. Earnings forecasts have been priced into this stock. The upside range is 145 to peak. Buy on rumor, sell on news! The rumor is out! We have the numbers and now its time to watch the action. The Optionster sees a put dollar cost average until the 145 range. Apple's implied volatility( 41.62) has been high since the IPHONE hype. This has been making options traders loads of money! Play to win! Play AAPL!

The Optionster request refund for I-Phone! Oil Service Holdings Slides! The Most Aggressive Week for the Optionster!

2007-09-10T07:18:00.000-07:00

Have you bought your I Phone! We doubt it! Even as the Iphone reaches its 1,000,000 sell.

Apple Iphone has exposed many of the stocks' ( AAPL )weaknesses. This stock is hanging around 52 Week highs at a time where the market is positioning for a possible correction due to economic credit concerns. A new concern about quality control issues with AT&T and market pricing of the Iphone units could adjust expected gross revenues, increasing the potential for a sell off of these highs. Read http://www.internetoutsider.com/2007/09/apples-aapl-iph.html . The Optionster's trading strategy revolves around two key dates. Sept 11th is the date of Apple's last 52 high. A stroke of irony that many " quant algorithims will pick up on". The sell-off we are anticipating will follow. The final most important market factor of the Fed Sept 18th meeting, a week later. It will create a huge move in volatility leading up to that date. Share prices should fall from that uncertainty. We are dollar cost averaging on every up move till this date! Thats your Apple for a day!

Oil Service Holdings gave up its 185 resistance leading up to the same dates we just mentioned for Apple Computer. OIH is a fund that is highly leveraged with market conditions unlike oil futures an/or commodities. This will be a two week short position until the 18th. The normal energy sell off should follow, leading into winter speculation.

Black September is the worst month of the year! So we choose not to fight this trend! Can you stomach the ride? PUT your faith in the optionster!

Black September Options on the Move:The Big Apple versue Oil of Olay!

2007-09-02T07:27:00.000-07:00

The first trading week of September is aligning itself to be the most profitable week ever for our Apple trading strategy. The name of the game is resistance! Apple
must break the 140 resistance levels. The strategy is simple; position puts around that 140 level and beyond to a catch a major trend reversal and huge returns.
In the markets:
The September 18th Fed Meeting is the most anticipated meeting this year. The market is hanging on to a thread of stability as investors look for rate cuts to fund financing deals. This double edged equity and currency sword is summed up well in this article
http://www.cnbc.com/id/20424014 . The Optionster.com is hedging the markets to close lower this month, increasing gains to be made by AAPL's overbought nature.
We hope you enjoy this poison Apple! Don't forget to cost average, double, or even triple down to win big! We will!

OIH was the play of last week! We saw the option increase from .65 when we first posted to 2.60 close on Friday. You do the math! The option activity on this has doubled the average, as it approaches 180 levels. We are looking for the put activity to be fast and aggressive for a possible one week down move. We like the resistance above 180 to begin a cost average put strategy up to the 18th of Sept!

2007-08-05T07:29:00.000-07:00

Puts! Puts! Calls! This week could confirm a clear indication of the direction of the market for the weeks and months to come. Don't let the market punch you in the eye. The Optionster has recently saw all data regarding short term trend cycles become null because huge sell moves in volume and an enormous swings in the CBOE VIX. http://www.cboe.com/micro/vix/introduction.aspx

For more info on how the VIX effects market moves click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIX

Along with the VIX and mouting RSI Oversold positions, the financial sectors doesn't have the financing capital to further earnings and growth GLOBALLY with rates at current levels. Berananke seems to take the Laissez Faire approach with his non-action policy. Until this changes the markets will face huge upside challenges at this level. The markets this week need to close up to break a confirmation down trend.

So now here's the strategy! We've identified this as a pure trend market reversal with a possible dead cat bounce. This next article points out disturbing global correlations to indicate weakning stock market performance. We at the Optionster.com considers this an excellent opportunity! Our strategy to revamp our put interest and research into this oversold market can make our friends HUGE RETURNS! Read the following article for reasons to be short in the up and coming dog days of summer months.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070727.WBmarkets20070727090418/WBStory/WBmarkets

This article is a Canadian publisher. We visited the TSX( Toronto Stock Exchange) in the Summer 06 and enjoyed speaking with many of the exchanges' movers and shakers. I learned to respect outside perspectives on US markets because they come as rational as the Canadian foreign policy can get! Fair and balanced!

The Optionster takes the position that only the FED can ease this financial pressure in the States and its global positions. The downside is that this cannot stop the global mounting RSI pressures being oversold ! This fundamentally can exposure short term

Our plays this week will be to target companies like AAPL and BIDU for huge swings in volatilty! That means watch your triggers! We could possibly play them 4 or 5 times this week shooting for 100% + gains per cost average. We are considering Companies with PE above 150 as possible 10 % or better as swing trade candidates until the VIX stablizes!

Market Meltdown: Rotten Apple and Yahoo for YHOO!

2007-07-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

OK! This week the bears really flexed their muscles. The Optionster Guru forsaw the heavy short interest in the market at the 14,000 level and rewarded its early week investors with big returns on AAPL! This week is about option volatility. The summer session seems to be starting late with decreasing volumes. This is normal for the 3rd Quarter, on average. With earnings season halfway through, this is going to be one of the best opportunities to capitalize before we and other traders hit exotic retreats abroad! WE say this is going to be the most volatile trading week for AAPL puts!

POWER: Those who have it, recognize our push for the call side of Yahoo(YHOO). http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19296384/

This article reflects the urgency in the market to cut this deal before GOOG prices out all other competitors. YHOO stock is a buy all the way down to $23.00. The break down of this stock share price is actually the opportunity of a lifetime! http://www.theoptionster.com/ is recommending this juggernaut of a play, this week! We predict a sleeper move on this stock option play alone. Unusual option call buying activities have been spotting in Sept and Oct Option Open Int. This is worth the speculation because the pure nature of the net business. A possible buyout or merger could race this stock above $30. We don't recommend the option straddle technique! Insurance is in the far out LEAP or Dec contract!

Manipulation of the options at this level has fallen out of the picture as our indicators show this thing getting ready to blow! Be ready to scream YAHOO! for YHOO!.

Chips and Dips: The Optionster's Take on Micron, Sandisk, and Yahoo

2007-07-22T19:53:00.000-07:00

The chip sector is on fire! Our famous SNDK model has broken out beyond our containment! The Optionster Guru rallied Sandisk for months on end as this stock channeled up and down! This is an option traders dream stock! Micron comes into this weeks strategy as the potential buyout target and cyclical trend rider! Basically this stock is winning now and seasonally does this as the demands for the late season pc rush are driving up! Interesting news was released informing us about short interest positions on MU http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUKN1927344620070720?rpc=44. This will most certainly increase volatility for this stock! We recommend buying at this level and selling as this stock continues it trend past 15$. The quietly kept secret about MU is that it perfectly positioned for a buyout by Private Equity. This play is going put us in that New Bugatti everyone is raving about! Read this http://chip.seekingalpha.com/article/38085?source=feed

As for Yahoo's HUGE dip! We consider this a buying opportunity! The market's volatility index VIX is creating an aggressive pattern of selling off and then bull run! If this continues, we can see Yahoo spike right into our target range of 27.50-3o.00 Accumulation of this stock all the way to the 52 week bottom of 23.50 is the downside potential . Our model has identified a short term spike in the YHOO trading pattern to be seen in the coming days. We have a buy recommendation into this dip! YAHOO for YHOO!
