Three Timely Reports:

The Daily Strategist Newsletter service is comprised of three different reports. They are as follows:

The Market Report

Published and delivered each trading day at the market open, The Daily Strategist Market Report keeps subscribers in tune with the current environment with a morning Market Comment drawing from a range of proprietary technical indicators and macro economic themes. NYSE and Stocks-Only Oscillator readings are reported for the previous trading day along with new Put-Call Ratio and Momentum buy and sell signals. Speculative recommendations may be presented based on these signals.

  • Put-Call Ratio Signals
    Computer-Generated, Confirmed and Past/Active buy and sell signals are presented on a daily basis. The put-call ratios are contrary indicators.  Essentially, when there is "too much" put buying, indicating that the public is bearish, the contrary trader should consider buying that market. Conversely, if there is "too much" call buying, we would look for a place to sell the stock short or buy puts.
  • Momentum Trading
    We use a trend-following system for these speculative positions. In general, the system has two criteria for a "setup": 1) the underlying instrument is trending, and 2) it must have pulled back then resumed its trend.

The Volatility Report

The Daily Strategist Volatility Report is delivered each trading day typically 30 minutes before the stock market closes. Including a Market Comment analyzing the later part of the trading day, The Volatility Report takes in-depth look at the volatility derivatives markets and their effects on the broad indices. Volatility trading strategies are presented and positions are recommended in the following sections:

  • Straddle Buys:
    One of primary volatility trading strategies is straddle buying. We do a number of statistical and probability analyses, and only the potential straddle purchases with the highest expected returns make this list. This table will normally contain several items.
  • Volatility Skews:
    This next section of the "Volatility Report" contains situations where there is a large volatility skew - potentially large enough to trade. A volatility skew means that the individual options on this particular stock, index, or futures contract do not have the same implied volatility. In fact, they are so disparate - and generally there is a pattern to these disparities - that a spread can be established to take advantage of them. 
  • Put Sales:
    Our unique analysis presents a daily list of put-sale candidates all containing high annualized expected returns.
  • Others:
    From time to time, we may also recommend inter-market spreads, pairs trading or other strategic applications utilizing listed options. Again, these would be specific recommendations, with details including investment, risk, buy limits, and stops

TheVolatility Report also contains a section detailing follow-up instruction and summarizing past action. A full summary of current positions is also provided for easy reference.

Interim Reports

 Daily Strategist Interim Reports are sent out to adjust open or establish new positions throughout the trading day. These timely updates provide valuable up-to-the-minute information.

Performance Results: Past performance results for advisory services and educational products are shown for illustration and example only, and are hypothetical.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
