Mr. OEX Call and a Follow-Through Bounce


With higher highs off March bottom appearing imminent, I think odds are better than 50-50 old Mr. Market is dragged back down, keeping intact the past couple weeks sideways trade.

So, looks like I could be selling my April OEX 390 Call position with two weeks time value to spare.


OEX 5-min

395-400 ... maybe higher ... appears a reasonable target. It might be reached as soon as Thursday.

Technically, it's looking a bit like mid-December here. That's why I want to close out my speculative options position, sit back and see what develops.

Intermediate-term, everything still points higher. Hopefully it stays that way. So, stay tuned.
