SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA)

Or it could do the opposite, go up first and then down. Just to mix it up, you know.

Stay safe.

[GreedyAgorist]

Hmm... what if yesterday's bottom was the bottom? Imagine that.

That would mean I did not need to re-hedge, darn it! : - )

Oh, well, it would better overall if it was.

Now come the lowered earnings expectations, followed by surprises to the upside. Well, maybe for the 2nd quarter, if not the 1st.

[GreedyAgorist]

Oops, I did it again on Monday. And then took advantage of yesterday's rally to hedge that middle. And then un-hedged today during the drop (and ... re-hedged during the bounce).

That might qualify as over-trading, especially with only one possible down day remaining in the week. Right? Fridays are now reserved for closing shorts, so should be up; might even finish over 200 for the week.

[GreedyAgorist]

There you go. Still under after the bounce.

I finally did something I have been waiting to do for years, middle the Dow. Did that by selling a cash covered put at a strike lower than the one protective put I have left over from when I bought puts a couple weeks ago.

I should have done this years ago when somebody's "fat finger" gave us the flash crash, but I was too slow.

The effect of middling here is taking some profits off the table now from my put position, without actually closing it, with a chance of landing somewhere between the two strikes before both options expire. The put with the higher strike has a later expiration date, so if the lower put expires worthless this Friday, I may yet be able do it again next week.

It’s overbought again

[oldmanhowie]

This is not good. It's topped.

There's nothing just going up, up and up.

Maybe because the individual stock is cheaper than the ETF? Just a guess.

New to investing... can someone tell me why a person would own a stock if ETFS like this pays MONTHLY dividends?

[wz9ytp]

Mucho uncertainty in the markets again. Oil or wheat or equities or currencies or gold, no clear direction anywhere.

For now

Sell in May to go away should be strong this year

[Belek]

I'd say give it a few weeks until May and the DOW will most likely

be in the vicinity of 16500 where it will level off for awhile, then the

sell in May go away will begin my best guess, so put options about 4 weeks out look to be wise here.......

[Belek]

LQQks like DIA going to lead the way down..looks very weak, not

sure we can get very much more news to push it up higher,,,,everything os pretty well overbought......

[PennyBears]

Do you see some fear in these markets?
