Wednesday's Prospects

Screening of the Tuesday, Nov. 29 markets identified six prospective high options volatility trades.

I shall make final trading decisions on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Two prospects have sufficiently high implied volatility to qualify for further analysis:

FXE

GDXJ

I hold a position on FXE.

Four are close to having sufficiently high volatility to qualify.

COST

TBT

TLT

UNG

I hold a position on TLT. 

I have previously rejected COST because of approaching earnings, GDXJ and UNG because of political influences on the underlying commodities and TBT as conflicting with another holding.

I shall also consider trades posted on Dough as part of my current learning project.

I have suspended work on my small lots shares approach through December until I determine how to move forward, given the poor trading results of July through October. See Small Lots Approach: Analysis 7/2016 through 10/2016.
