Profiting With Weekly Options: Time Is On Your Side [View article]
Because of the probabilities of a "face-ripping" rally, with AAPL leading the way might cause trouble on those short call spreads, but we will get a better price tomorrow, I´m currenently writing the next article, stay tuned.

Of course, but on Sunday I saw an upwards bounce as more of a risk than a sustained downturn, tomorrow is the day of truth. If it wasn´t this oversold, I would´ve placed a bear call spread to get more credit.

I´ve used this strategy for some time but the strategy´s profits have been around a triple so far, as I don´t allocate all my portfolio to this strategy. I have no stop-losses as I don´t like playing with my "cards open" for machines to break them, only "mental" stop-losses, when the spread goes in the money, it´s time to either close or roll, for this week, no problems yet as AAPL currently is around 525.

For this week, the short put spread gave more credit, for next week, I will see if an iron condor or a one-side out-of-the-money short spread is more worth the risk.
An eye-opener, domestic equity funds had $30B in outflows in October, according to a Goldman report (as reported by Raj Dhaliwal). It's the largest amount of the year, and represents one-third of all of 2011's outflows. Bond funds had their biggest inflows of the year - $44B against an average $32B.

Great contrarian sign, big outflows tend to happen at the worst times for investor´s portfolios, then they miss a rally and so on. I´m covering my short positions tomorrow morning.

The table you are referring to is from June 2012, values must, of course, have changed regarding P/Book, but it must not be difficult to find, then you can apply the Piotroski´s method to find out what score they have, hope it helped, I will be writing an article on an updated list and more detailed analysis.
The financial (XLF) and healthcare (XLV) sectors were the big winners this week, both adding to their gains relative to the S&P YTD. Another YTD outperformer, tech (XLK) combined with energy (XLE) to be the weakest sectors this week as both Apple (post-iPhone 5) and oil (post-QE∞) can't shake their hangovers. The defensive utility area (XLU) - which had a big (and worrying to some) run from mid-Spring to mid-Summer - continues to lose ground to the broader market. [View news story]
When market leaders become laggers, get some hedges. AAPL closing below its 50dma is not a good sign for overall market, dragging Nazzie with it.

Loved the video (talk a bit louder tho), great reasons for the bullish risk assets/bearish TLT and bonds in general (since I´m more of a technical trader than fundamental, as fundamentals tend to play out in very long periods of time). This week will prove if the QE guys got their hopes of for nothing, I´ll be selling when SPX is around 1500, going full-on bearish.

Great article, I agree with you on the short-term fall of the U.S. bonds, technicals also point at a fall of TLT over the next couple of weeks, price action is very bearish for TLT.

Bullish. When investors put money into mutual funds is when we have to worry, as they usually chase rallies and hold the bag at the top.
