FINAL NOTICE:

For readers in the Bay Area, my string of talks on my DITM covered call investment strategy is ending with a FREE talk at Golden Gate Univ., Wednesday the 23rd at 5:30 P.M. as I prepare for my vacation mode! It has been a fun ride from San Jose to Orinda, but a lot of work - for me and for my Powerpoint man - Jim Norton.

 For more on DITM, please see my other blog: http://ditmcalls.blogspot.com.

The market continues its inexorable ride, Bernancke ex machina, up the wall of global worry. The DJIA is up 89% since March '09; the SPX (500) up over 100%; the Nasdaq up 125%, more than decades ago in 1982 (1 year rise) and 1974 (2 year gain).

My new Indicator, speculation as measured by Nasd divided by NYSE Volume, hit a new high, as did my cumulative Adv./Dec. Bullish per cent also hit an all-time high of 89. Money is entering domestic equity mutual funds again after a year of shifting to foreign markets.
I just started following the COT (commitment of traders) this week - should appear when testing is meaningful.

With record numbers of dollars coming out of Money Market Funds, mostly into the crowded trade of short term bonds, anyone who has a minimal knowledge of covered call options and/or an interest in hedging stock market exposure might want to check out: brentleonard.com for an alternative strategy that is low-risk as well as highly rewarding.
