$VIX #CNBC – I keep beating this dead horse ….
The S&P 500 is on pace for its 72nd straight trading session without a gain of 1 percent or more — its longest such streak since early 2007.
The implications of this kind of historical market calm that’s been the subject of much debate across Wall Street this year are concerning to some strategists who believe low volatility (while the market grinds to all-time highs) is the so-called calm before the storm.
The last time the S&P posted a gain larger than 1 percent in a single trading session was on April 24, with a gain of 1.08 percent.

edit: SPX hasn’t closed up or down 0.3% for 12 consecutive days. 10 in a row in ’66 and ’61 were the previous records.

Edit2: Looking at SVXY, the range for the last 6 trading days is only 3 points 89.81 – 92.85

#Earnings #Assignment #LongStock
Forgot to close my long 3.50 calls on Friday so I was assigned 1,000 shares. I put .05 trailing stop on to enjoy any gain on the day, or close it out before it goes below 3.50. Cost basis is 3.70.

Email from SMM/OMM

Is it just me or does this sound slightly condescending? Seems like it could’ve been worded better. Maybe my reading comprehension sucks too…LOL

—————————————-

Scott,

It’s been 6 months since we last heard from you, and I wanted to know if you’re still interested in learning to trade profitably. If not, just shoot me back a note and I’ll close down your record.

If you are interested, let me know and I’ll send you back a free month trial to Stock Market and Option Market Mentor.

Please reply today, so I can remove you or help you.

Thanks!
Gary

My reply:

You can close me out…thanks Gary. By the way…the email is a little funny sounding. Makes it sound like the person you’re sending it to is not interested in trading profitably unless they come back. Sounds condescending although I’m sure it wasn’t meant to be. 🙂

Scott
