4 Earnings Season Option Strategies For Monday November 9

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:31:43 GMT

In my latest three blog posts, I listed some stocks which I would be willing to go long by selling the puts right before the stock reported earnings. Keep in mind these are companies which I believed would have a positive reaction to the earnings, however if the stock moved sideways on the number this strategy would still likely return a gain the following day.[More...]

Why We've Waited To Buy Natural Gas

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:26:30 GMT

A lot of people have written asking why The Kelly Letter hasn't bought natural gas via UNG yet. The following June 21 article sent to subscribers, re-displayed here in its entirety, explains why. The addendum at the bottom shows what's happened since we ran the article. Original June 21 Article sent to Kelly Letter subscribers We've spent a lot of time looking at oil this year, and have put money on both the long and short side of the fluctuating price. We're currently betting on lower prices ahead, and I still think we'll get them in the short term. A related commodity that we've discussed much less is natural gas. In some ways, it's a better place to invest than the oil market. Let's look at those ways. Natural gas is primarily a U.S. domestic commodity, much less exposed to the[More...]

Interpreting Yesterday's Rally

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:00:00 GMT

So I am sitting there, and the market's down around 4%. The S&P had breached the October lows, and I'm loaded with short positions, including a pretty large position in the ultrashort EEV. Then it suddenly occurs to me, everybody's watching this level, including the government. And they have hundred of billions of dollars to buy stocks! I started thinking, if I'm Hank Paulson, I'd be buying hand over fist now to protect the low, maybe put a floor under this market. So I covered a bunch of positions, although unfortunately too few, and what had been a magnificently profitable day turned into something quite mundane. That was some gut-wrenching, exhausting action. So call me a tin-hat conspiracy guy, but I think we would still be dropping if it weren't for the plunge-protection team. All the same, I will respect the rally, since it is exactly what I was looking for in order to move to a bullish orientation. I do not think we have seen the end of the bear[More...]

Post Election Hangover

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:59:00 GMT

Congratulations President Obama! Sentiment remains pretty guarded despite yesterday’s low volume rally and while I mused about taking more profits off the table in preparation for a "buy the election polls, sell the election returns" event I actually ended the day at about the same cash level (about half cash) as I started. Today we (...)[More...]

Long Picks For Wednesday

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:45:00 GMT

For today's short ideas, go here. Most of the best action continues to be in the commodities and energy. Investors are likely to continue to buy dips and breakouts in these sectors. While the following charts are more focused on stocks that are not yet too extended, I will also be looking intraday for stocks that are pulling back to support on low volume. - SD was higher with volume yesterday, and looks like it may rally off of this base.

Historic Day Bouncers

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:35:00 GMT

“Historic day” definitely refers to the global coordinated interest rate cut by the U.S., England, Europe, and China- the four most influential economies of our day. I was joking on my Twitter feed how exciting it was that China joined the “Allied Forces.” Yeah, the rate cuts probably took the world a step back from the cliff of a worldwide deep recession, but the positive benefits of the cuts, if any, probably won’t be felt for months and months. What mattered more for me today, and probably for those who monitor their investment accounts closely, it was just good to have a day where we weren’t in freefall.[More...]

State worried about air pollution near Barnett Shale wells

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:46:00 GMT

Nov. 23--FORT WORTH -- State environmental regulators want natural gas companies to voluntarily emit less air pollution after tests showed high levels of a cancer-causing chemical near wells in the Barnett Shale gas field.
On Nov. 13, regulators from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Barnett's eight biggest operators discussed ways to cut benzene emissions, said Michael Honeycutt, chief of the commission's toxicology section.
Honeycutt told a meeting of the Fort Worth League of Neighborhoods that his agency is taking the pollution problem seriously.
