being bought, deep out-of-the-money puts as well as deep out-of-the-money calls, because they're positioning for an explosive move either way."

Looney, who runs global business development for the firm, calls it a fluid situation as traders and investors evaluate upcoming risks. "There's a lot of what we'd classify as known unknowns. You've got Brexit. You've got Super Tuesday. You've got earnings season coming up," said Looney. He classifies them as "known unknowns" over the next six to eight weeks that have the potential to drive stocks further into record territory or spark a sharp pullback.

"You can take a look at this type of environment and clearly sense that the long bias is afraid though of those big movement potentials," he said. "It'll be interesting to see if we actually get an event that causes a big move how the market allows that positioning to unwind."

TradingNation Why is posting an old article?

TradingNation jimcramer bezos sells billons in shares in the past week... wonder which way it’s going to go...

TradingNation This article is void of specifics and filled with non-words. Things could go this way, or they could go that way, we don't know which way or why, it could be this, or it could be that, but it could be explosive! Maybe people are just gambling? Article is a waste of time.

TradingNation Do the opposite of what CNBC says and you will make more money

TradingNation Very helpful article written by my pal Stephanie Landsman!

TradingNation Rollercoaster, into a full tuck. Trading as the bi polar president operates in Chaos...? Don't see the logic nor gain, unless investing in Russia.

TradingNation Coronavirus Identified Dec 1-Reporting suppressed Dec 31-WHO quietly notified Jan 10-announcement/travel limitations, 5+ million people had already left Wuhan for Chinese New Year. Already exponential curve spread rate. China still lying about the numbers. Now 27+ countries.

TradingNation deep out-of-the-money puts as well as deep out-of-the-money calls, because they’re positioning for an explosive move either way.”... sounds like a golddigger sucks strategy for their high tier clients and low tier ones...sell one group one option, sell the other group the counter

TradingNation Why, this is from 10th Jan?

TradingNation Boost as fu*k. Most USA companies depend on China production. If inventories get depleted too quickly, earnings outlooks will start looking very different. Choke supply, prices go up. Inflation doesn't fit well with QE / NotQE.

TradingNation Very high valuations, concentration in technology, commodities reflecting global uncertainity and a very contagious deadly virus with no vaccine and no cure. Stock valuations need to reflect the uncertainties and they don't.

TradingNation I do see vix creeping up...

TradingNation When everyone believes that there is no risk on the horizon, it's time to sell!

TradingNation Many of these anomalies can be removed by taking the multipliers out of the indexes and reweighting. Much of what is seen in the markets is an exaggeration.

TradingNation It’s amazing how many people moved to cash after the election and STILL haven’t got back in. The recession already hit, but the tax cuts and fed rate reductions were perfectly timed to off set it. We are at the start of another 7 year run. Get in, or regret it.
