Market levels
Market Momentum – The S&P is 2.8% above its 125 day average. This the furthest its been above this level in 2 years.
Put/Call – Put volume has lagged Calls in the last week of trading by 35%…again a 2 year low
Stock vs Bonds – Stocks have outperformed Bonds by 7.61% the last 3 weeks, indicating a rotation from safety to Risk.
Just a few passing observations going into the holiday rally period..
SPX rolling out calls
#SPXcampaign I was hoping for another day of weakness to get out of an ATM call spread, but the push back to 2210 signals tomorrow could go either way. So I’ve closed it and am now selling several short-term spreads as rolls. All spreads are same position size, so I want the new ones to add up to at least the 7.55 I spent for the stop.
Bought to close $SPX Nov 3oth 2200/2225 for 7.55. Sold for 1.30 on Nov 3rd.
Sold to Open $SPX Dec 2nd 2190/2165 put spreads for 2.55
Sold to Open $SPX Dec 5th 2230/2250 call spreads for 1.55
Sold to Open $SPX Dec 5th 2175/2150 call spreads for 2.15
Need one more spread for 1.30 or more.

Back in…
Been out of country for the past 8 days, but now back. Hope you were bullish while I was out. I was not this bullish and now have to manage some stuff before this Friday. May have to ask for some advice as I get readjusted to time zones and this market.
