No Megan Fox nipples today.  So sorry.
I can tell you, however, that she is tough.  How do I know?  Because the kids today called her cameltoe, and if the vastly underrated movie The Weather Man has taught us anything, it’s that “camel toes are tough – they can walk all over the desert and all the hot rocks!”
See all the evidence right here…lovingly brough to you by Megan’s fantastically tight sweatpants.

You’re back?
Good.
I was afraid that you had run oft…into the hills…seeing that 2nd consecutive lower close on the SPY.  Yeah, I know it’s weird…afterall, we hadn’t seen one in almost a month!  (You also must not have owned any GOOG stock, which saw its 7th consecutive lower close!)
Anyway…correlating with the general market action, the put/call ratio ticked higher today.  Nowhere near high enough for a contrary entry signal, so once again nothing to see there.  Moving along.
Talking my book for a sec:
- SPY RSI(3) is at 5.49, which is the lowest it’s been since March 3rd.  I say odds are pretty good for a ST bounce (think 1-day, perhaps even just hours).  (A bounce up to ~93 would let me unload my Deucey-SPY calls for breakeven/small loss.)
- KG, the biotech with 3 pending FDA action items is near 10-month lows.  Excellent opportunity for some volatility plays, no?  I was a bit early with my Jul’09 10. straddle, currently down 15%.
- Small-cap solar held up relatively well today…TSL calls active, especially June 25.’s – quite a bit of buying in the morning.
- Continued high call volume in UNG, this time in Oct’09 17. & 18.’s.  Possible speculation for hurricane season?
- This is why you buy straddles/strangles on biotech names:  MTXX.  Seriously…LOL!  p.s.: SVNT up another 25% AH after FDA approval.
- As mentioned in a comment on my previous post, I have no idea what IPG does, but somebody out there is going nuts with Oct’09 7.50 calls – buying up 30k+ of them this morning…
- Big spread volume in URBN put LEAPS.  According to IB, this was closing out a trade that began last summer for a cool $10mil+ profit.  That’s how you do it, boys & girls!

i like your style
Word.
Or as the brothas on the other side of the pond would say…
Cheers, mate!
I like the biotech strangle/straddle idea alot and I like the call buying on the UNG. Although I don’t this hurricane season will bring much activity compared to past years (see my blog post on the Colorado state forecast) it is not a bad idea to put some chips on the double sixes in case it gets rolled if you know what I mean.
