Investor Jitters

The week of Thanksgiving can often be a week of low volume trading on Wall Street. Many fund managers are off for the holiday week.

But, the US futures are tracking below fair value this morning as several macro events weigh on the minds of investors. This may be an opportunity for nimble Day Traders! But, those without a solid short-term trading plan might want to sit it out.

The Hang Seng tumbled 2.7% and China’s Shangahi Composite Index shed 1.9% as tensions mount in Korea. North Korea’s nuclear arsenal is well-known and their altercation near their disputed border has heightened market jitters.

Investors also worry that the Ireland bailout will not be as smooth as hoped. As the European markets trade today the FTSE is down 0.6%, the DAX is down 0.3% and the CAC-40 is off 0.8%.

Two hours before our US market opens the S&P futures are trading 14 points below fair value, the NASDAQ futures are down 22 points, and the Dow futures are off by more than 100 points.

This sleepy holiday week should be interesting. Be careful out there! As is often said here at OptionsAnimal, “Manage your risks! The profits will take care of themselves!”

I don't usually pay for stuff like this because I feel all the info I need is free on YouTube. I stand corrected. Their training program is excellent and they have fantastic customer service. I have learned so much since I started using their curriculum.

If you are serious about learning options, this is the place to be. I got interested in option in late 1990's. I saw that you could leverage a small amount of money to make big money. Went in with a mind set of "get rich quick" attitude, that was a mistake. Did not touch options again until more recently. Thank goodness I found OptionANIMAL. I was skeptical but felt like I needed to learn more before giving it a try again. Glad I did because I learned a lot and continue to do so. To be successful you must put in the work and have a plan. OpttionANIMAL was the help I needed with material and teachers who were eager to share their knowledge. Here I was able to learn from the courses how to avoid all the most common mistakes, how to allocate your portfolio when making a trade, how to adjust a trade and much more.

I can’t say enough about the teachers and how willing they are to help you learn and set you straight. They are all different and have different perspectives of how to handle and analyze the market. Each one brings different knowledge and experience. If you are willing to put in the time and effort you can up your game. There are no guarantees, but you want to make sure you hedge your knowledge to be on the right side of the trade.
