• Back before the opening bell

  Thursday, September 27, 2007 9:05 AM

  I apologize for the tardiness of the post. As I stated in the post earlier today there was an unforeseen circumstance that arose, but I am up early this morning so hopefully this makes it to you before the opening bell today. I will be back with the SPY Diagonal LEAPS discussion later this afternoon Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• Short-term Pullback in the QQQQ’s

  Tuesday, September 25, 2007 11:06 PM

  The tech heavy Nasdaq 100 (QQQQ) continued the strong advance today and has now reached an extremely overbought state. Our shortest-term overbought/oversold measures (not mentioned below) are pegged which typically means that the advance should stall and pull back at least over the next day or so Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• Diagonal LEAPS Strategy Begins

  Tuesday, September 25, 2007 12:24 AM

  We added our intial positions in the SPY Diagonal LEAPS strategy today in our test account (paper trading). We plan on following this strategy for most likely several months until our subscribers and community blog participants can gain a better understanding of how the strategy works Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• Post Expiration Weakness Again?

  Saturday, September 22, 2007 7:15 AM

  Post options expiration is historically a difficult time for the bulls and this time around is no different. As I have stated the last two days, the week after September triple witching has seen the Dow lower 13 out of the last 16 years given the recent surge a short-term move lower is certainly not out of the question Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• Could we see a retest of the 1500 area in the S&P over the next 1-5 days?

  Thursday, September 20, 2007 10:18 PM

  As expected (per my post yesterday), after the huge rally earlier this week the market decided to take a pause today. I would not be surprised to see the 1500 level tested again before buyers step back in with conviction. Those who missed the rally the first time around want to get in and by the looks of it the 1500 area seems the most logical Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• Upside should be limited over the short-term

  Wednesday, September 19, 2007 11:58 PM

  The last two days have been witness to the largest point gain in the S&P in over four years. As is often the case after large moves upside momentum is limited over the short-term. I would expect to see a pause here and most likely a move back to 1500 before the bulls step back in Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• If history repeats itself the market could do well over the next few months.

  What a day for the market. Bernanke certainly did not disappoint the market with the more than anticipated one-half point rate cute to the fed funds rate. History tells us that over the short-term (1-5 days) we should see a decline although as we go further out (three months) the market typically performs quite well Read More Posted by acrowder 0 Comments Go to top

• I’m back, just in time for Bernanke.

  Tuesday, September 18, 2007 12:52 AM

  I am thoroughly rejuvenated after a much needed break from the daily column. As I stated in the blog, I have been working on site improvements and a new strategy, the SPY Diagonal LEAP . Before I get to that I would like to talk about the upcoming week and what lies ahead Read More Posted by acrowder 1 Comments Go to top
