A Blip or Here to Stay?
Hello All,
It’s been a relatively quieter start to the week in regard to economic data / general event risks as we await PPI #’s tomorrow along with CPI #’s on Thursday & thus far, the recent & continued slow churn / grind higher within the indices has continued with Spooz in itself achieving a fresh new closing high, up 58bps on the week, whereas the Q’s are the best performing of the indices, +91bps driven by a brief pause with a rotation out of small-caps back to tech, & finally, Small-caps have been the worst performing of the indices although nothing out of the ordinary, -34bps on the week.
Earlier on in ‘24, a series we had started was ‘Educational Pieces’ with each including a wide variety of topics, some even suggested by you all & we’ve finally decided to release Part Trois.
Nevertheless, for those whom may have missed the first educational piece along with the subset of topics included:
General background / knowledge on all option strategies
In-depth talk on risk / reversals & how to go about expressing / utilizing them
Options Structuring
When to used naked calls / puts vs. spreads
Choosing expiration dates
Identifying key pivots / supports / resistance zones
General briefing on stock gaps
What to look for in regards to fundamentals
Implementing fundamental / macro / technicals into a trade
Hedging
Creating risk/reward setups
Taking profits / managing losses
Overall Process
Book recommendations
I include a link here to the original.
And given the amount of positive feedback we had received on the first educational piece & how helpful it was for many, we decided to release Part Deux earlier on in ‘25 & for those who may have missed, a link to Educational Piece Part: Deux can be found here.
And then FINALLY, a link to the last part of the series, Part Trois (for now), can be found here.
Psychology is the silent driver of performance & your edge often comes not from knowing more but from managing yourself better.
