The cool thing about working with smart people is being able to learn from them. Having Sean McLaughlin on our team has made everyone better, not just our clients but us as well. In today’s video, we tackle the question of when it makes more sense to finance an options position by selling a different contract to collect the income vs simply just buying calls or puts. As usual, Sean does a nice job of explaining this in a way that anyone could understand. [Read more…]
The Bullish Base In Bonds
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Last week I had the pleasure of being on Real Vision TV where I recorded two segments, one on Bonds and Equities pairs trade (short EWJ/SPY).
The video to the Equities trade is here, but since I’m not sure if/when the free video about Bonds will be out I wanted to go through that trade for you all on the blog. And if the video does come out, I’ll be sure to share it.

[Options Premium] Embrace the Muck
You’ve probably noticed a few recent blog posts and twitter comments from the All Star Charts team singing the praises of “cash”. There’s nothing wrong with cash as a position if there aren’t any compelling ideas to get you excited about. In fact, its often the best move.
However, we options players can still structure trades that will profit in sideways markets. But a big challenge currently is that we prefer higher options prices driven by relatively high volatility to sell into — and its hard to find that anywhere right now. Across the board, options prices are getting extremely compressed everywhere. What to do?
How about a strategy that positions us to benefit from sideways action while also getting a goose from any reversion to the mean (er, higher) volatility? [Read more…]
My 2-Month Fling With “Old Media”
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Today there is no shortage of information: Social Media, Blogs, Newspapers, Television, Water-Cooler Gossip, etc., but we still have the same amount of time in a day. We all have to make a decision what we’re going to pay attention to and what we’re not.
Money Game Podcast: No Such Thing As Work-Life Balance (EP.5)
In this episode of The Money Game, Phil answers my questions about the work/life balance with: “There is no such thing”. He says life is all about decisions. I tried to push back a bit and point out the extremes, both in my life and in those around me, but he says I’m overthinking things. I thought this was a really helpful conversation, selfishly, so I hope it adds value to your process as well.

Video: Getting Some Love From My Friends In India!
Here’s the video from a live interview I did on ET NOW, India’s leading business news channel. It’s amazing that I could not live further away than I currently do, yet we can still do this sort of thing. Their morning TV is my evening, but it works.
In this interview we discuss the ongoing rangebound market in US Stocks and then we shift gears to India’s stock market. We talk about the rotation into small & mid-caps, key levels for both the NIFTY50 and Bank NIFTY as well as the relative strength we’re seeing in the bank stocks, particularly ICICI and AXIS Bank.
Here is the video in full: [Read more…]
All Star Interviews Season 2, Episode 18: Greg Harmon, Dragonfly Capital
Greg Harmon is one of the OGs of the Financial Blogosphere. He has been consistently contributing to the community for over a decade. For you new comers, this is how it’s done. Greg is the founder of Dragonfly Capital, where he is the portfolio manager and I encourage you to follow him on Twitter @harmongreg. He paid his dues early in his career traveling around the world and holding senior positions including Head of Global Trading, Head of Product Development, Head of Strategy and Director of Equity at JP Morgan, State Street and BNP Paribas. It was not until after all of this experience that he started his blog and joined our FinTwit community. In this conversation we discuss how although he is both a CFA Charterholder and CMT, he chooses to incorporate more of a technical approach to markets. He then takes it one step further by using options to both maximize returns and, more importantly, manage risk. He is the author of Trading Options and I recommend getting a copy as soon as possible. This was a good conversation with one of the smart guys in the room. [Read more…]
Avoiding These Groups At The Index Level
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Tuesday I posted a Mystery Chart that got a lot of replies.
Most said you’d be buyers at current levels or on a pullback, but a number of you were skeptical of the recent move and would be avoiding or fading it.
The feedback I got was interesting, so let’s get right into the actual chart.
