I picked it up, mostly based on your words.  I know won't all work out that way but putting a little confidence in some of these picks helps

What if talks fail on the "cliff" and we go into next year?  Does that trump the charts you think?

Should we jump on the short XLE, optionsmonster post

The SPDR Energy Fund is facing a large put trade today as its shares remain in a downtrend.

More than 10,000 December 64 puts have traded against open interest of 2,755 contracts, according to optionMONSTER's systems. The big block of 8,750 was bought for the ask price of $0.22.

The put buying isn't tied to any trading shares of the exchange-traded fund that we saw today, though it could be a hedge against an existing long positionin the XLE or its underlying stocks. The long puts could also be an outright bearish bet that the fund will fall below $64, which it hasn't done since June. (See our Educationsection)

The XLE is up fractionally at $70.41 in midday trading. It bounced off support at $68 at the end of last week but remains in a downtrend from the high above $77 reached two months ago, and it remains below its 20-day moving average.

CLSN

Posted by lrhoades on 22nd of Nov 2012 at 10:02 am

I know likely i'm the only one looking on the computer today :), eat your turkey but when you get a chance take a look at CLSN.  Apparently has date coming in January but also has big insider buying.  I sold the April 4 puts for 1.90, collected the premium and feel good about buying the stock back at a net 2.10 if it fails.  Never seen such a huge put premimum.

Any thoughts from you option guys if I should buy a put to protect?

Thoughts on INTC? Seems to be nearing support levels.

Lot's of short interest and they have been trying to knock it down prior to earnings.  I understand from other sources that have owned IOC for a long time that they expect a major to come in and buy, Shell maybe.  From those sources its a double from here.  Small float and over 25% short.

I like how ANR briefly broke out and then fell back, just shows gotta understand the enviroment as well as the charts.  No one is going to break these stocks out any further on election day

 

TC - Any thoughts
