Blog postThe ES bears have a slight edge, but they need to move fast. The S&P has gone into correction mode but the selling has been tepid. The complacent bulls haven't been given a reason to second-guess their bets; if the bears want to make progress they will want to see something happen sooner rather than later. The longer prices hover in this area the more likely the edge will shift back to the bulls.

Energy stocks have likely been holding the market up. Crude oil, and now natural gas, have made impressive moves higher. As a result, energy companies making up a significant amount of market capitalization and playing a big role in the US economy has been positive. Nevertheless, if crude oil prices come back to reality ($50s?), that will work against stocks.

Blog postThere is a lot of event risk floating around. If it isn't Chinese tariffs, it is a Trump administration investigation or Russian/Syrian turmoil. We've gone from a world seemingly without risks throughout most of 2017 and early 2018, to a world in which there are peripheral threats in every direction. That said, despite what it feels like volatility isn't as high as it could be.

Blog postChina is playing Trump's game...start the discussion with a bazooka before eventually pulling out the bb gun to negotiate. US equity and commodity markets were reeling last night on news of new Chinese tariffs. Not surprisingly, the markets overreacted. China's tariff threats don't go into effect immediately, and there is plenty of time for negotiations to take place. Further, it is important to remember that China imports much more to the US than the US does to China. Thus, an immediate fif4 years ago Read more

Blog postEvent risk is looming in the financial markets.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this week's calendar event risk is a 12. We will be hearing about home data, employment data, manufacturing data, and sentiment data all while attempting to digest a mid-week Fed meeting (did I mention the State of the Union Address?).

Blog postThe E-mini S&P traded lower two days in a row for the first time since late September.
Although losses were minimal, the ES managed to settle in the red on two consecutive trading sessions to close out last week. In a normal market this wouldn't be worth a mention, but in this market, it is a rare occurrence. The last consecutive negative closes took place on September 25th and 26th. Before that, you have to scroll the chart back to early August!

Blog postImport/export prices were a wash, retail sales were solid In the end, today's economic news wasn't anything to write home about, but more importantly it wasn't reason for stock traders to sell into resistance levels. In fact, the S&P was able to maintain yesterday's bullish trade in the face of swift down-trend-line resistance. We see this as a sign of short-term strength...or at least a catalyst for more short covering.

Titles By Carley Garner
Many books have been written on options trading, but most focus on the academic side of options suggesting there are black and white answers and reliable mathematical formulas to determine profit and loss.
