Yesterday / Friday

Happy Ground Hog’s Day! Will the market see its shadow today? It certainly did on Friday. And what a day it was. The market opene up down 177 points. It took a while to climb back out of the hole and be down only 54 points. Then things got ugly again and the market was down150.

Later in the day oil ran up $3.50 for its biggest run higher in months. This helped drag (kicking and screaming) the market back to unchanged (or slightly higher) on the day. But the market felt awful, even during the move up. I sent people in POT an update saying that exact statement, and then the Dow fell 251.90 points.

Turns out there were rumors that ISIS, The Jayvee Team, were taking I rigs in Iraq. That is why oil ran up an the market fell off. It might as well have been the Taliban. No, that could not be since the President said on Friday that the Taliban were essentially well meaning non-terrorists. So it had to be ISIL. One week they are considered Boy Scouts with guns, and the next they have billions of dollars and are taking over oil rigs. Yes, I am positive it has to be them.

ICPT was up almost 18% ! ! ! ! POT people see below.

TODAY

We are at a precarious place in the market. Another $5 points lower in the SPX and this thing is at the end of its road technically. Friday’s fall was a little overdone. We have been seeing an exaggerated move in the last 30 minutes of the day for the last couple of weeks. So all things being equal we should open up $5-$10 SPX points.

SUPER BOWL INDICATOR

Anyone watching the Super Bowl last night had to be on the edges of their seats regardless of which team they were rooting for. But in the end the team that had military run on to the field instead of a giant shitting bird won. And it all came down to a rookie making the last minute big play, yet Brady takes the credit with another MVP.

BUT there is a little known Super Bowl indicator that the media will likely pounce on in 12 hours. Unlike the January effect indicator that is “hit or miss” and has a paltry 70%ish accuracy rate, the Super Bowl indicator is right about 81.25% of the time. That can’t be a coincidence (LOL).

AFL vs NFL

AFL is bearish, while NFL is bullish. The New England Patriots are an AFL team, so we will see a down year, right? I loath anticipating having listening to the arm-chair jocks on CNBC talk about the game for half the day while the market is moving 300 points, and no mention of why. I hate the Monday after the Super Bowl as much as a trip to the dentist – Sorry to our large contingency of dentist students.

Screen Shot 2015-01-29 at 4.05.08 AMIt was a LONG class last Wednesday but I covered to large topics.

  • The BWB

  • and the beginning of a year long journey (but I think we will be lose to done in 6 months) of “the best ay to hedge a vertical spread – winner or loser.

Also, Friday we had history made.
This was the first January I can recall where POT was actually up for the first month of the year. I don’t know anyone who is good at trading January – it is psychotic.

But with ICPT being up $30 on Friday I was all that was needed to turn us into the black. This time last year we were down $15% because of the huge drop we saw of 7% in a week.

A Random Walk First

Recall this was the first time we have ever done a risk reversal that started with the short spread ITM. We had a short put spread an long call spread placed for a $1.80 credit, meaning we only had $3.20 of risk. Friday we took half the trade off for a $3 credit, meaning it was a $4.80 swing. The last 5 is on as it can make another $2k and I am bullish, but not greedy.

POT is held each Wednesday night at 7:00pm eastern.

Contract the office at 1- 855 – RWT – 0008 for more details.

DISCLAIMER (Seriously!)

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 doesn’t 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, Joe Kearnan, 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 doesn’t 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). “Thank yous” are only handed out in countries where legal and void where prohibited. If your country does not allow “thank yous” please refrain from accepting it. This disclaimer is copyright material and not a joke.
