Time to consider an SPX Bear Call Spread?  Wednesday’s Demo…

There is a problem with the video in the iPhone mobile Safari browser.  It is showing a shadow video that does not exist.  Only the video with the Arrow on it is real and it does work fine. We removed the original post in attempt to get rid of the shadow video and sadly the 22 comments disappeared.  We reposted and the shadow is still occurring in Safari.  If you have a copy of your original comment this afternoon, please repost it.  Thank you.

I am a mac user with Safari, and the video seemed perfectly normal to me. BTW, my previous comment was:
Great piece of education! Thanks for sharing it with us, Dave.

Dave, thanks for the heads up on the reasonableness of a hedging strategy at this juncture. I'm always late to this strategy and hence give back my profits when the broad market is at resistance or showing weaknes. With the help of my hopium, I fully believe SPX will reach 2504 area and can't clear my eyes for the possible dangers ahead. Thanks for pinching me just at the right time ... hello TIME TO HEDGE! :).

BTW the video and sound quality was excellent

Gary said...

Running Windows 7 Pro no problems with video. I wonder who's going to enjoy your retirement more, us or you? As always Dave, Thank you!!

Daniela said...

Great demonstration!
Thank you, Dave!

Hi Dave
Video and sound good on my machine.
Thx for the coaching of caution with this legging in setup. My IC SCV's were getting tested at the 2470 short call side. Finally closed the call side and rolled up the put side to offset the debit, which went well.
I'm interested to see how the legging in strategy will work. .. Thx for the instruction always very valuable. Good to "see" you.

Dave Johnson said...

Tenore...thank you for that clarification...specifically the problem was occurring in iPhone mobile Safari. The good video is working fine, the shadow video does not work. DJ


Dave Johnson said...

Tom O...The chart suggests the 2504 area is likely and I concur with that technical probability. The probability table suggests a 21.4% of closing at 2505 or above. The question is time. If the SPX does pull back then theta will work in favor of the bear call. If it doesn't pull back in the next few days, there is still an 78.59% probability the trade would make the expected profit. If the 21.4% probability occurs this time then we just need to manage the trade by making strike and/or time adjustments between now and expiration. DJ

Dave Johnson said...

Gary...thank you for that feedback on Win 7. As far as I am aware all desktop and laptop Win based systems and browsers are showing the video properly. It is the iPhone mobile Safari browser that is showing a real (that works) and a fake video (that doesn't). BTW not retirement, rather a new stage that will ultimately have better seating, lighting, audio and special effects (an analogy) to create a more robust learning experience (a reality). DJ

Warren Neary said...

Video looks good on Firefox and Safari from my Macbook; however, I did see earlier today and this evening the double image on my iphone. As you mentioned though, only one has the option to play and you only mention one video to watch in the blog.

Reposting from earlier:

Dave, it is great to hear your voice and see the beginning of "Dave unleashed" :) I was prepared to watch re-runs of Dave on the Investools site while they lasted. Still will continue to glean what I can from them. However, glad we can still continue to learn under your tutelage live if we can catch it or asynchronously on Chart Signals.

Thank you!

Dave Johnson said...

Warren, thank you! DJ

Jon Mickelson said...

Hi Dave,
Great to see this video up! It's just like our old Wednesday Advanced Options class. Appreciate your thinking at this resistance area. Thank you for this.

Unknown said...

Thank you Dave. Great video. You trained us well as I put on a similar trade in the final 15 minutes as today's candle began to form a bearish engulfing of yesterday's candle. Appreciate all of your posts as the day unfolded today and especially the video demonstration at the end. As always, thanks for all that you do for us!

Unknown said...

Great to see you back in action! By the way, I have a MacBook and use Safari. The original video worked fine. I took the SPC paper trade for .95 credit late after hours. I will see if it fills this morning. Thanks!

Anita said...

Thank you, Dave, for your postings everyday that will help keep us abreast of the market. Thank you for the video as well, which was very helpful. I watched the video on my PC Windows 10...so no problem there. Again, thank you, Dave, for all the help you give us. We truly appreciate it!!

Great video. worked fine for me. I guess I need to brush up on verticals and condors!
Thanks so much for doing the video always fun to learn that I need to learn more.

Tenore Primo said...

The SPX BCS filed this morning at 1.10

Unknown said...

Thanks for the video, Dave! I took the opposite approach yesterday, being concerned about the SPX uptrend continuing. I sold the 2455/2450 SPV (one or two strikes below likely support) about 15 minutes after the Fed announcement. After viewing your video and being reminded to look for weakness in the uptrend, I added the 2510/2515 SCV (~81% prob. OTM) this morning, completing the IC. Total premium was $1.70 - not too bad for the VIX being below 10! Hopefully management will not be necessary before expiration, but I am ready if it is.

BillBear said...

Wow Dave. Legging in to the SPV today has good premium at the short 2450 channel support or about a $1 a little lower at the 2445 short put vert. Amazing how you're able to see this price action. Will continue to practice with the goal of approaching your skill.
Thank you for your instruction.
