If 2/24’s open wasn’t the lasting intraday low for the S&P, I think one is coming by the Monday after quad-witching. Failing that, we likely see a 3rd straight month where the 3rd was the top and the 24th was the low of the month, which is going to have me a bit miffed because it’s a predictable pattern and one that likely breaks eventually (heck, the 3rd in April is on a Sunday, so all parts of this should be done before next month unless we’re doing the straight down part of this into the 24th).
May just be for a couple weeks like late January after OPEX, may be for a while…honestly the latter is due, but this coming earnings season is a likely problem because companies are likely going to talk about the recession in Europe and possible one in the US (as much as my dad is “no” to that).
Or we could have exited the land of rationality, and this will be known as the no bid year that sees 0 green months.
On a shorter term basis, I don’t think those 420 puts are going to pay as long as the situation in Eastern Europe stays the same, but I have a feeling that we end up with the same week as last week, with the one green day being Wednesday.
