Options Trade Alerts Service 2018 Year To Date Total Returns = $8524
Over 85%
The high water mark for this account was YTD gains of $8647 back in June and this drawdown bottomed on Monday at $6414, and we are now back to $8524. While I generally don’t count open equity since things can change overnight, I want to point out that the current 3 open positions amount to another $1,827; all in all, a monster of a week.
After watching this morning’s Sunday shows I am struck by the propensity of anyone involved in politics to lie as it suits them. I have for years written in this space that I believed that all politicians are liars and thieves, and clearly, while not 100% correct, I’m guessing that if I was a baseball player with a batting average based on the correctness of that comment, I’d be bid up by every team in existence, with my average well over 600. And, clearly it’s not just the elected ones, as can be seen by watching Omarosa get interviewed about the president, or listening to Rudy Giuliani talk about Michael Cohen. Just to make sure you understand, this is not a Republican or a Democratic issue. It would be easier to make a list of the exceptions within either party. My warning continues, sentiment rules the markets and political and geopolitical are a major part of what rules sentiment.
However, the point is that this market seems as if it could care less as long as we continue to see solid growth in earnings and employment numbers. With all of the missteps of this president and tariff issues that are making even our closest partners condemn these actions, we are still single digit percent’s away from new all-time highs in the DJIA and S&P 500 and actual new highs in the NASDAQ, NASDAQ 100, and the Russell. Sentiment from A.A.I.I. show a jump in Bulls of 7.3% but that is still under the LT average, Bears -1.1 and just a hair over LT, and Neutral (I don’t know) -6.2, but also slightly elevated. This may be the setup for a nominal new high and short term reversal. You still have to remember that August and September are generally not known for a market breakout. No new trades tonight, until I can see how we develop vis a vie the Turkey and Forex actions tomorrow.
