The Dry Season

G’day Traders, If you would like to listen to an audio recording of this Daily Update, please click here. Traders are pretty similar to farmers in many respects. That’s why farmers often make the best traders – they expect floods and droughts (that doesn’t mean they don’t really suffer from them). Many of us from [...]


What Not To Do With Options

G’day Traders, Note: US Holiday was yesterday – no signals on commodities/stocks, but the information in this update is valuable to you. All is well and our baby is already home from hospital. So it’s a great start to the day. Even the stock market looks better and better as this rally continues. Awesome. That [...]


Christmas Party

G’day Traders, On Friday night we had our Christmas party and I had my annual cocktails prior – yes, my very pregnant wife was so kind to allow me to put it on. What a great way to end the year and the atmosphere was one of anticipation for next year. I am excited about [...]


Option Traders Getting Extra Credit

G’day Traders, One of the great things about our Trade Now service is that, if possible, our US dealers will ask for extra premium if available. Over the last couple of nights there has been a lot of Option trades placed and some traders had got over $10 more per contract that they requested. This [...]


Markets Extend Rally As Dollar Devalues

G’day Traders, In a week where we have seen critical news that is interpreted as ‘good’ for the markets – because the Republicans took control of the house and the Fed announced an extra $600 billion of quantitative easing – I wanted to pose the question – is it good for the markets long-term? Before [...]

Prepare For Choppy Markets

G’day Traders, Something we are doing is sending clients an SMS of option trades we think might help narrow down some selections. We won’t be sending all of the ones we find – jut some. We will probably send them out to anyone with a live account who has access to Lifestyle Options. We are [...]


Is China Going To Take Down Other Economies

G’day Traders, One of the important things we need to understand right now is that there is a huge amount of capital flowing out of developed markets and into emerging markets. So I wanted to examine – why? Well, I think there is a huge realisation amongst investors that growth in developing nations is going [...]


Currency Markets Could Be About To Really Move

G’day Traders, I am really excited today. First of all, it is really evident that Trade Now is now very popular. This is a good thing for clients (although I wish they would trade less in October) and it is a service that is really helping people trade Options. The other thing I am massively [...]


Let’s Focus On Commodities

G’day Traders, I had a quiet night at home last night and I left nothing on Twitter – there is nothing new there to read. It’s actually good to step back from the markets and breathe. I thought this morning I wouldn’t look at the markets I usually look at – so there will be [...]
