Description

Topics this week include: Gold Crude Oil Winners: Nat Gas, Palladium Losers: Class 3 Milk, Wheat Futures Options Feedback: Listeners tell us what's on their minds Question from TMD4817: Which is a better timeframe for maxing a 1-3 day "swing" trade with options: wkly expire vs out 1 month vs out 2-3 month Question from Patrick Rooney: Do you use futures in your strategies? For hedging perhaps? If so, which? $ES_F? $VX_F? Other? Question from OpeningBellCo: Which English soccer team do you support? $MANU or not? Question from GGLee: Buying collars means buying skew and paying up. So does it stand that the best spy trade is selling skew by selling 25 delta puts and buying 25 delta calls? Maybe add a cheap hedge with 5 or 10 delta put in case worst comes to pass? Right now I can sell the SPY Oct 25D put for $.55, buy the Oct 25D call for $.55 and then buy put hedge for about $.20 net outlay. Thoughts?
