RE: Lions Eyes On Financials! New Stock Pick(s) Posted To TradersChoice. By Gregory Mannarino
Hmmm, they popped about .10 when your post came out - from 1.17 to 1.27. You may have some peeps trying to front-run it or something. Maybe I'll take my time getting in, or look at the 25 or something.
I'm showing a day's range between 1.25 and 1.27. The XLF Rocktober $24 calls were trading at 1.26 just after Greg posted the trade and only 95 contracts traded. Total volume now at 125 contracts...so yes, maybe a few of Greg's followers stepped up to this trade. I'd personally use a stop on this one. I posted the "hedge" trade using the weekly XLF 24.50 puts that expire on Fri. That's veery cheap insurance and I'm thinking that trade generates a 300% gain by Fri. Let's see. We'll know soon as the 20 year bond (TLT) signaled a short term buy. If bonds rally rates drop.
Great feedback on that - thx Joe. I was just looking at an hourly chart on that and it was flatlined at 1.18 from yesterday with no actual activity today until the pop to 1.25. A very good hedge idea on the 24.50 Put. Too late today - I'll take another look tomorrow. Thx again.
You would likely get your best entry on the open if you want to hedge XLF via a shorter term XLF short or via some other finanshill/bank derivative. For my call for the dollar to be bullish I want to see it sell of now from here...I figure the dollar will run with the other safe have >>> U.S. govmint debt. If teh dollarr sells off early I would "guess" that XLF will rally. The only thing that can actually keep you from this hedge is if XLF gaps down on the open. Then I would avoid the trade in ALL directions til it settles out. :-) Here's the king...the dollah via UUP.

Upside target of 24.75, when the dollar begins to run. ...which might be delayed for at least a couple of days depending on tomorrow's open. I gave a comlete overview of the dollar, VIX, and QQQ's here...
