Awesome POT Class Last Night
Closing Prices From Yesterday
Today’s Number(s)
Yesterday and Today
Yesterday
The market opened up modestly an sat for a while until rumors of an imminent deal with Greece and the EC started to circulate. Shortly after the rumors circulated the EC refuted the rumors saying that no deal was close, but by then all the bottom fishers were buying. We did hit the key 18000 Dow and 2100 SPX levels on Tuesday, and the rumors of a Greece deal was enough for people to realize they were buying at support levels.
TODAY
One would think that after having bounced so nicely off of support levels on Tuesday and the Nasdaq making new highs that we should drift higher. We are sill 200 Dow points away from the highs and 12 points from the SPX highs.
The key to today’s markets is going to be the usual suspects:
-
Will Greece ever get their head out of their $#^? Even the media is not saying people should let Greece fail, that is how old this is getting. Remember oil falling was supposedly bad until 4 months later? Then the dollar rising was bad, or at least for 3 months. Now the same thing is happening with Greece.
-
The Eur/USD relationship and bonds. Binds and the TLT were down a point for a while and closed up on the day yesterday. That helped our markets.
-
Two big numbers. Jobless claims and Housing.
How great is the new platform ā Go-to-Webinar?
We have been using it for a month now and have not had a single problem. We have no had sound quality issues, disconnects, and staggering feed on animations. I love this new platform.
Topics Covered:
-
Explained how I legged out of four positions that comprised the Risk Reversal that was hedged with an opposite risk reversal ā in other words, two unbalanced condors.
-
I let it (accident) slip that one of the other topics in MAUI ’16 was lopsided risk reversal trades that can be used as a āgamma scalpingā type of trade.
-
We entered into a long E-mini call spread. We are only long 48 deltas prior to the call spread purchase, so we piked up a few more deltas.
-
We covered the small remaining positions that are expiration concerns. The only real trade that needs to be watched is the SPX call butterfly we legged into (yesterday and today) for a $0.05 credit.
-
Why the account is at an all time high in profits this year ā mostly the AAPL an SPX butterflies from last week.

Trading is almost as much fun as black jack in Vegas, but without all the annoying distractions of free drinks, Broadway shows, gorgeous people with low morals, and free buffets. It also has about the same odds of success, so when you lose all your money you wont have to walk past a smiling pit boss. Even Bruce Wayne lost everything with options in The Dark Knight Rises, and Superman keeps his day job at the Daily Planet newspaper.
We have the utmost respect for our attorneys who tell us any attempt to trade is throwing money out the window, and investing is risky business (still a great movie). Past performance doesnāt mean a thing. The future is even scarier. Random Walk and everyone associated with it promises absolutely nothing. We guarantee nothing. We wont ever do anything right unless it is an accident.
Random Walk only provides education (and a great cup of Starbucks if you visit our office). If you want advice please consult an attorney, licensed broker, tax consultant, investment adviser, etc. Random Walk, LLC is full of morons, dolts, has-been(s), chromosome damaged individuals, thieves, losers, and carnival barkers. Any attempt to find a semblance of intelligence or integrity in Random Walk would be a waste of time. We will sell products, but advise against buying them. We Do Not Give Advice.
When reading this you acknowledge that you agree to hold harmless Random Walk, LLC, its employees, independent contractors, authors, managers, owner(s), spouses, children, cousins, friends, bail bondsmen, and favorite bartender. In fact, you agree to grow up, accept some responsibility for your own actions, and stop believing the media that sells you on how nothing is your fault. You further agree in the antiquated and lost values that America is the land of opportunity and not the land of handouts. You agree any loss in the markets is a result of your own actions as we told you NOT to trade without consulting someone other than us.
All paper trades are SOLELY for example and to illustrate how certain strategies could perform without the benefit of hindsight and back-testing. You agree NOT to trade based on anything we say, do, write, advertise, etc. If we were smart we would be teaching high-school math and making the really big bucks. You agree to abide by the laws of your country and that it is legal to accept this transmission.
Every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, but we are clueless. As a result it would be foolish and impossible to assure the accuracy of any numbers and/or come close to writing a sentence that is grammatically correct. You agree not to get on our case emotionally, physically, spiritually (no Voodoo dolls please) or legally when we screw up. We are doing our best to keep up with evolution, but it is a fast race and we are falling behind. If any of this stuff is too hard to accept please let us know and we will remove you from our mailing list and short term memory.
Random Walk deeply cares about each and every student. We try to keep the selling of products to a minimum. We believe our students are a result of attraction rather than promotion. This does NOT mean that the more attractive you are, the more we promote ourselves (in general).
Our products are written ONLY by floor traders, fund managers and retired floor traders. But that really doesnāt mean much. They are expensive and unique. That does NOT mean they (materials) come on a tablet of concrete from Mt. Sinai. . If you are still reading this, you will likely be the first to have gotten this far. No guarantee for accuracy is made. Nothing we do is audited and we make no promise of accuracy.
Because of the proprietary nature of our materials and the ease of electronic copying, all sales are final. There are far too many people who have no problem stealing our materials and putting them on torrents or copying them. These are the same low-life, selfish, whining, half-wit hypocrites that would cry like a newborn with a wet diaper if someone stole their car radio. They have to pay for our materials before stealing them, and live with their karma (and our legal team). Yes, we have caught a few and now have one person working on detective work solely.
Sales are far from our largest concern. If you are a whiner, complainer, or generally unhappy with life please go to someone else in this industry who values money over happiness. We can point you in the direction of other firms that only care about the bottom and top line. Jerry Springer can also point you in the right direction. Besides whiners are a total distraction from the awesome group of students we are fortunate to have. We are truly blessed and thank them (provided that is fine with our lawyers). āThank yousā are only handed out in countries where legal, and void where prohibited. If your country does not allow āthank yousā please refrain from accepting it. This disclaimer is copyright material and not a joke.
