Please recall with me the prevailing investor sentiment from this time last year…

U.S. stocks had been in strong decline for more than a year. Some of the most celebrated bulls had turned into bears, and the few bears that did exist before the downturn had become even more bearish. The Daily Sentiment Index for the S&P registered an astonishing 3 percent bulls — virtually no one was believing the upside was coming — and the bleakest of forecasts for 2009 called for nothing short of financial apocalypse.

But well-known contrarian analyst Robert Prechter took the opposite side of the trade. Prechter, a long-time bear, emerged as a solitary bullish voice among overwhelming bearishness. After closing out a short recommendation that gained 800 downside points in the S&P, he issued the following bullish warning to bears:

“The market is compressed, and when it finds a bottom and rallies, it will be sharp and scary for anyone who is short.”

In the following days, the mainstream media reported that “perma-bear” Robert Prechter had turned bullish — the reports were only half true. Prechter had, in fact, turned intermediate-term bullish, but he stopped short of recommending average investors to jump back in. Why?

Prechter saw something on the horizon that the shortsighted mainstream market watchers did not, which brings me to the untold portion of this story …

In Prechter’s eyes, the bear market is far from over, and what he expects to happen after the current move ends is significantly important to how you position your portfolio now.

Prechter’s firm, Elliott Wave International, is now offering for a limited time The Most Important Investment Report You’ll Read in 2010. Inside, Prechter reveals his big-picture outlook for U.S. stocks and the U.S. economy. The eye-opening 13-page report, originally published for paying subscribers to his Elliott Wave Theorist, examines the government’s unprecedented involvement in the financial markets and local enterprise. It reveals what’s already taken place in candid detail then focuses you on what the government’s measures will actually do for the U.S. financial markets and economy.

Be assured, this report delivers analysis you will not find on the front page of The New York Times or Wall Street Journal. It delivers independent insights from the man who saw the bear market — and today’s bear market rally — coming when virtually no one else did.

But hurry! This free 13-page report is available for a limited-time only due to its timely content.

If you have any questions let me know.

I just had a new user ask how to enter an option trade into OTrader so I made this video to show him (you) how it is done.

This is a quick video I did while speaking to a client about entering covered call trades into OTrader.

It has not been edited or scripted just a straight out recording of your phone conversation.

As always if you have any questions let me know.

With increased market volatility over the last 12 months it seams appropriate to have a look at some written option strategies to benefit from.

Over the coming days I will cover:

• Writing options – Call and Puts
• Spreads including Bull Call Spreads, Bull Put Spreads, Bear Call Spreads and Bear Put Spreads
• Combinations including Long Strangles, Short Strangles, Long Straddles and Short Straddles.

In each strategy I will cover how time decay and volatility affects the strategy.

To start I will go over the basics of how volatility works, how time decay affects you, what effect dividends will have and how an interest rate change can affect your position.

Once the strategies and basics are covered I will go over some advanced options parameters such as Deltas, Option pricing and Options Probability Calculators.

Finally I will finish of with my entire Iron Condor Strategy document.

As always if you have any questions along the way let me know.
