More gyrations in the markets last week as we now embark on earnings season. We now have something to really sink our teeth into. While I love my pre-earnings strategy, my main focus this time around will be straddles (ie playing volatility) and post-earnings. There’s a good chance of large moves as the nonsense of the last couple […]

Last weekend was a good call to stay quiet in this news-driven choppy market. BUT … you must keep alert because things can change very quickly, literally in a matter of a few days, and we get paid to be patient but on our wits. This week is much the same … just keep watching […]
Another choppy, news-driven week in the markets which is not optimal for our style or purposes … So with earnings coming in just a few weeks anyway, I thought we’d just observe the markets this week because more optimal conditions will come around soon enough. This is also a huge lesson in trading our particular […]
Back from New York on Wednesday morning it’s been a hectic week, with Wednesday night being spent in the Emergency Room until 3.30am with the missus, but luckily all is now well! In a moment I’ll give you some of the best all-round advice you can get when it comes to considering your investments. Last […]
Greetings from New York where I’m having a number of meetings but sadly not enough leisure time for my liking in such a wonderful city! With the markets creeping back up to their highs, there are several decent OVI and flag opportunities out there (plus some real gems!) but in today’s review I must emphasize […]
Last week I suggested that the 4-week rangebound nature of the main indices would be likely to be broken soon … and they duly were on Thursday. Now this was mainly common sense through experience rather than some sort of mystical capabilities! – Last week was the first after the summer holidays, – The indices […]
After Monday the summer holidays are officially over, and the main indices are likely to break their 4-week range within a week or two. Quite what the catalyst and decisive direction will be is still up for grabs, and continued volatility is a reasonable guess to make. But whatever happens, remember that being patient is […]

A quick demo of my PRE-prototype mobile optimized TradeFinder. Not only will this end up being fully functional on mobile devices, but it will also […]
If you didn’t believe it before, you would surely believe it now! My rules will make you phenomenal returns when the market wants to play fair, and my rules will save you from the worst consequences when the market decides to be crazy. Such has been the last eight or so traded days, and if […]
Plenty of action this week with more earnings being announced. One tweak to a strategy that is very attractive is making conditional orders on pre-earnings setups. By this, if the stock breaks out, then you can be in, and if it doesn’t break out you’re not in and you’re therefore protected. With plenty of stocks […]
