Market volatility rules as traders ponder

With a lack of clear vision, markets around the world are fluctuating wildly. What is the cause?

Quite simply, the future economic condition of all the world’s economies has been brought into question. The recent credit downgrade of the United States debt sent shock waves throughout world financial institutions. This on the heels of what appeared to most to be an inept political system here in the US which was incapable of making the right decision, has shaken the world’s perception of the United States of America’s ability to do the right thing. Add a significant dose of uncertainty about the European banking system’s ability to cope with massive sovereign debt issues and you have the making of a “perfect storm”.

What happens next is anyone’s guess. For the Bears there is plenty to point at and support their views that this market will trend much lower. For the Bulls corporate earnings have never looked better. Ever. So which is it? In my opinion, until there is some resolution to sovereign debt issues around the globe and until we begin to see signs of economic growth, the Bears are right.

This increase in market volatility has reminded us that the markets can move significant distances in a very short time period. These wild swings with no apparent justification are cause for one to hedge their positions well. Until such time that there is clarity on these unresolved issues the market will continue to gyrate violently. This is no place to take a directional stand.

This is the best place for options trading educations. I was the one jumped in slowly. Took a few of their free classes. I saw they gave good values. Then, joined their "beginner" classes and later upgraded to their full curriculum. And now, I am a lifetime member. The only regret was that I didn't join earlier and started trading options sooner. Take advantage of their free classes and see for yourselves.
I've been an Options Animal member / student for a bit over a year now and am incredibly impressed with the organization, their depth of knowledge, their teaching methods and their support of their students. In fact, I just signed up for life time membership so that I can continue to make use of the resource for the rest of my trading career.Before becoming a student of O/A I had been studying options trading technique on my own, attending webinars buying books from Amazon & etc. for about three years and not doing very well at it. I was also trading equities as I had been for the past 17 years and my portfolios were increasing in value from my efforts but not by leaps and bounds. In fact I was just covering living expenses plus a little bit and looking for a way to become a more successful trader; hence my foray into options.Joining Options Animal was like stumbling out of the woods and into the sunshine. "Don't try to trade options until the end of the course when you will have learned how to do it." was their first piece of advice. ( Wish I'd had that tattooed on my wrist three years ago. It would have saved me a bundle.) Next piece of advice: "If you do experiment with trading options just count the results as increased tuition costs." (Yeah, I had to learn that the hard way.)Then they proceeded to a very detailed analysis of markets / equity trading with instructions on where to find the real information for fundamental analysis. This alone resulted in a measurable improvement in my efforts at equity trading. After that it was straight into options, "the Greeks" & etc.What makes the O/A teaching method a cut above anything else, in my opinion, is that there are four primary instructors all from different backgrounds who each teach all the lessons in the curriculum. All of their efforts are recorded in the O/A archives which gives the student the ability to gain exposure to the same material from four different perspectives. And because the instructors are continually presenting the material over time one can gain a better understanding from listening to the same person giving the same talk but in a slightly different way.Any points not clearly understood can be repeated instantly or reviewed in its entirety later. Students can also interact with the instructors in real time during the scheduled sessions or attend the weekly open forums to cover specifics and have additional questions answered. One is not locked into a rigid class schedule which is going to move forward whether the student understands the presented material or not.In addition there is a bulletin board / chat room organized by courses and lessons and related subjects where students and interact and learn techniques from each other and the participating instructors.Long story short: if you really want to improve your trading to the point where your success rate is above the ninety percentile point then Options Animal is what you've been looking for.
