S&P 500 Circling the Drain

Posted by rayw On May - 13 - 2009

chartWe don’t live in a land of fairies and elves and a 35% rise in all three major indexes (in only 8 weeks) without even a hint a of pullback or adjustment is completely out of line. Bull sentiment is increasing (never a good sign), insiders are selling, volume is weak and the overall economy sucks. Needless to say the market’s way overbought.

(Recommendation at the bottom)

As Option traders, our goal is not to suck every last dime out of a trade or to call tops and bottoms. It’s just not possible and a losing proposition. That said;

Taking Profits

traderPortfolio update: The NASDAQ 100 (QQQQ) was closed at the open this morning for a 380% net profit. The trade was initiated on 3/12 at a stock price of 27.00. Three days after the market bottomed on March 9th.

The May 29 calls @ 1.25 closed out @ $6.00. Let me reiterate. Every $125 contract sold for $600. Nice work if you can get it.

At the time I spoke of the apparent anomaly in that the other markets indexes did not participate in the same chart pattern. I knew the NASDAQ 100 could not rally significantly if the other major indexes didn’t. What developed was truly astonishing. The S&P rose 32%, the Dow rose 28% but the QQQQ shot up 36% beating all the other indexes.

A Message from the President

Posted by rayw On May - 8 - 2009

Wall StreetIt’s good to be back. My name is Ray Walkoczy, President and Co-Founder of Hyland Financial Group, LLC. After 18 years in the commercial mortgage and finance business it all came to a crashing halt one day in January 2008.

It appeared that not only had the rules of the game changed forever but the game itself didn’t exist anymore. The “too smart for their own asses” Wall Street “geniuses” created the derivatives market as a way to line their pockets and let the chips fall where they may. It seemed as though no amount of money would satisfy these pigs in suits.
