Mean Reversion – VIX, SPX

Options Trading ChartsBy Explosive OptionsMay 22, 2012

When I analyze technicals and charts of stocks one of the main drivers is mean reversion.  Simply put a moving average (mean) acts as a magnet towards price either up or down.  Go to far to the upside and expect price to come down, likewise a steep drop.  That was the case yesterday as the…

With the soon-to-be new issue Facebook coming out next week I thought it would be fun to look back on some other internet stocks and how different they are from Facebook and other recent issues.  Back in the 90’s I was buying stocks of many tech names.  I think at one point I probably owned…

This Is Where It Gets Difficult

Options Trading StrategiesBy Explosive OptionsApril 20, 2012

Tough market, isn’t it?  It wasn’t long ago when the day started out positive and got stronger as we headed toward the closing bell, the result of a broad participation rally.
