#1 Building a Pseudo Straddle (with stocks)!
This blog, written in August, could well qualify for a tile 'English August'.
Dow reached an intra-day High of 18,631.60, S&P hit 2193.42 and NASDAQ peaked at 5275.74 today, August 23 2016. The numbers represented all time High's for S&P and NASDAQ today and bulls don't seem to be taking a pause yet - Hmmf! Hmmmf! As an investor, i am tired of chasing...
The next thought that inadvertently crosses my mind - Is it time to sell? Hell yeah... if you are invested. What if you aren't?
The latter brings back some interesting ticker symbols to my mind - 'DOG', 'SH' and 'PSQ'. These are ETF's that call themselves 'Inverse ETFs'. Try tracking them as the market goes up and you could find them good Investment Opportunities if you follow the tenet 'Buy Low', 'Sell High'.
These Inverse ETF's, with their index counterparts are a perfect straddle and for dividend savvy investors, a good stream of regular income without losing your principal.
