The Real Shark Week
Today, is options expiration Friday. This trading week is a time
when the markets will trade all over the map. There will usually be
a lot of game playing in many of the popular stocks by the
institutional traders. Often leading stocks such as
Apple Inc
(
AAPL
),
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc
(
GMCR
),
Netflix Inc
(
NFLX
),
First Solar Inc
(
FSLR
) and others will be extremely volatile throughout the week.
Remember, this is the time to be a contrarian trader. If every
investor in the world is buying puts (option contract betting that
the stock declines) on a stock such as
Amazon.com Inc
(
AMZN
) the institutional traders will usually move the stock higher in
order to shake out the small retail options trader.
Most novice retail options traders will generally try to make
money from the increase in the premium paid and never actually
exercise the option. Another mistake that the small retail option
trader will make is that they will usually buy the near term
expiring contract because it is cheap. Believe me, it is cheap for
a reason and that is because the clock is ticking and the option is
losing intrinsic value by the minute. When trading options it is
best to give yourself some time, buy the next expiration
date.
This options expiration volatility and game playing will take
place each and every month. Inexperienced retail options traders
will usually become the victims of the large institutional traders
during the week of options expiration every month. This is the real
shark week and everyone should know what to expect next month.
