Inflation Flare or Slow Burn?
Hello All,
Despite a little bit of headline noise, it’s been a relatively quieter week with most of the excitement within markets being driven by underlying sector rotations & following today’s hotter than expected PPI print, we finally saw small-caps cooldown a bit after the recent violent upside move although they still remain as the best performing of the indices on the week having closed higher by 365bps with the Dow being the second best having closed higher by 169bps & the Q’s being the ‘worst’ although still sit firmly higher by 99bps 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.
