11/11 Almanac

On Thursday, Nov. 11: Veterans Day. Stocks, futures and options trade. Bonds don't. Government closed.

There are 9 days before the November options expire, 37 the December and 72 the January.

On the jump, market stats, econ reports, and the trading calendar . . .


Stats

Blue chip stocks (SPY) closed the latest regular session up 0.4% from the prior close. During the day SPY traversed 1.2% in a net move up of 0.4%.

The day's extremes: Open $121.58, high $122.16, low $120.66, close $122.10.

SPY traded entirely within the DeMark pivots. The next DeMark pivots are $121.38-$122.88.

In total, 3.1 billion shares were traded on the three major U.S. stock exchange, 5% fewer than on the prior trading day.

Five-year bond yields imply inflation at 1.7%.


Econ reports:

No economic reports will be released because it's Veterans Day.


Trading Calendar:

By my rules, at this point in the cycle I can trade December diagonal, butterfly, iron condor, vertical and calendar spreads, December covered calls and January straddles, calls and puts. And of course, shares are good at any time.
