An important shift seems to be taking place amongst market participants’ minds i.e. “less bad is good” seems to be changing into “just good is not good enough”. If you are looking for playing an income option trading strategy for downward move while still protecting limited upside, try a put diagonal that benefits more from the downward move.  Albeit, do note that markets are now entering into typical bullish period of the year (Dec-Jan). This whole rise from March bottoms had been full of contrariness, are we about to see any other contrary period?

Are you enticed by “teasers” from newsletter service providers to make loads of money in the stock and options market? I encourage you to check out “stockgumshoe” where Travis does an excellent job of decoding the “next million dollar” making opportunity. Then there is fascinating Dr Brett of TraderFeed, always someting interesting to read and widen knowledge horizons. I suggest you to read the first post in a series that he is directing toward developing traders. He plans to write about topics that “no one told me about when I was learning the ropes”. Check it out.

If you are a web developer who would like to work on a few cool web 2.0 projects for OptionPundit (or if you know someone who does), pls write to OptionPundit(at)gmail.com.

Profitable Trading, OP
