What’s shaking for you this week, traders? Another momentous week for a supposedly sleepy month (historically) in the markets… Pundits continue to puzzle out the implications of GM’s bankruptcy, while Ford surges ahead – as the automaker that actually could? Time will tell.
Meanwhile, you gotta perk up a little at the news that the Dow erased all its 2009 losses, so we’re actually back in the black again! (Knock on wood, of course.)
New heroes continue surging forward on TradeKing’s Leaderboard. This week, my shout-out goes to mrwill09, naplesdental, deckster and Cowboys #1. Nice work!
Lots of sharp coaching going on lately between Trader Network members, which is always nice to observe. For example, Danny.myer has been keeping himself honest with a trader’s blog – lots of useful discussion on his latest post.
Meanwhile, Wiggy got flattened with a volatility crunch – check out how fellow traders helped W. figure out what happened. (And Wiggy: take a read through Brian Overby’s series explaining volatility crunch or All-Star commentator Mark Wolfinger’s recent post Stock goes up…option does zip? Both should give you some solid insights.)
That’s it from me, everyone. Have an excellent weekend!
