JC has a short post up today about “The Oil Dilemma.” He and I talked about this situation yesterday and I like the way it is setting up for a little premium collection to complement an existing position we have on the books. [Read more…]
Financials In Focus
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Financials have made quite the comeback in recent weeks, with the Large-Cap Financial SPDR $XLF trading back to record highs as bank stocks around the world have fought to repair some of the damage endured during Q2.
We even saw regional banks break back above a major level of interest last week. The importance of this can’t be overstated.
But that’s just the US. What are financials doing in the rest of the world? Are they confirming this strength we’re seeing from the US?
In this post, we’ll provide an in-depth rundown of what’s going on with this critically important sector–not just in the US, but around the globe.
The Oil Dilemma
How’s the market done in 2021?
[Video] Options Trade of the Week w/ Sean & JC
On August 11th, Sean and JC hopped on a Twitter Live Stream to discuss a recent trade idea for All Star Charts Options Members.
Here’s the play:
“We’re buying a $AEO Sept/Jan 35 Call Calendar Spread for around a $2.10 debit. This means we’ll be short the September 35 calls and long the January 35 calls.”

Whenever Frances calls to chat about the market, she knows she’s getting a yes!
Frances Horodelski and I have been doing this for about a decade, through multiple cycles. It’s always fun!
She was hosting a commodities-focused show today so we discussed Metals and Energy.
I think there is a lot going on in this space and it’s setting up for a big move.
We couldn’t help but talk Financials and Crypto, but it was mostly Commodities.
Hope you enjoy!
Soar Like an Eagle
The latest Follow the Flow report is out, and as always there is a play therein that caught my attention.
It’s a bullish idea, but I’m going to play this one in a unique way in order to hedge myself a bit in a tape that feels a little sluggish at the moment. I want to get paid to wait out the slow times we’re likely to “enjoy” from now until Labor Day weekend, and possibly beyond. So this will involve a calendar spread, but with a twist…
RPP Report: Review. Preview. Profit. (08-11-2021)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @sstrazza
Welcome to our latest RPP Report, where we publish return tables for a variety of different asset classes and categories along with commentary on each.
Looking at the past helps put the future into context. In this post, we review the absolute and relative trends at play and preview some of the things we’re watching to profit in the weeks and months ahead.
We consider this our weekly state of the union address as we break down and reiterate both our tactical and structural outlook on various asset classes and discuss the most important themes and developments currently playing out in markets all around the world.
We’ve been pretty obnoxious about our position that markets are a total mess these days. While this remains the case, we’ve seen some positive developments play out lately… particularly the renewed strength from cyclicals and offensive assets.
We’ve covered the best evidence from both the bulls and bears camp in recent months, and even played devil’s advocate with the data we have. We continue to track and point out the most important upside and downside resolutions across global markets. And we keep pounding the table on two major themes (among others):
- The market is messy and full of mixed signals.
- Many significant risk assets are currently trading at or below critical resistance levels. [Read more…]
