Volatility

And have we had it. There have been 51 trading days so far this year. 60% have seen moves of more than 100 Dow points either up or down. That, my friends, is unheard of. And why are we talking about that now? Because this week brings us this years first Quadruple Witching. And with QW comes extra amounts of volatility. So be very careful this week. Want to buy stocks? Maybe you want to put your order in a few points below the market. Want to sell. Try a few points above the market. Unless of course you must buy or sell. Then do it at the market.

Quadruple witching also brings with it other things...more on that next
