Very low volume in the calls today dec $5 .05/.10 volume 101 OI 3922
or mar $5 .25 /.30 volume 68 OI 4336
Does this mean that those in the know, are not excited about the 43-101
Should the options action not indicate some heat at this point?
thx

re providing relevant commentary........... is there some way to cut off comments longer than say 600 words...... commentary on this site has become quite long on some days

sorry - wrong url .... again, not a recommendation....... just another place to find out about hedging - hopefully.....

lately, a lot of reits have NOT been that bearish..... so SRS reflects that...

looking at these charts, reminds me, people keep saying - the trend is your friend...... (if you can find out what it is / will be - charts show clearly what it "was" recently)

SRS, SDS, are so short term volatile & unpredictable ..... & are in a 3 month downtrend..... might be useful to use long straddles and long strangles if you must get involved with them.

btw...."unpredictable" ? isn't that what stocks are about? careful out there gentlemen & ladies........

why should these rally so strongly now now?

macd, rsi, & ma's work sometimes but not all the time. when i guess on direction, i theortically have a 50% chance to be wrong. but in practice results are greater than 50% wrong. macd, rsi, & ma's show what has already happened. they may have just a 50% chance to predict what comes next.

i have tried this many times & have been lucky enough to wait & collect most of the premium sold. but on a few occasions the stock gapped down and i re - purchased the sold put. that hurts a lot. wipes out a lot of the successful other ones.... still i am not risk averse enough to sell a spread instead. hopefully one day i will learn.
