It appears to be one of those moments in time where I have a lot to write about, including a number of timelier topics, so I wanted to get this piece out earlier than usual. With midterm elections in the US now just a month away, there is an increasing number of cross-currents in the market and the added mix of politics into the discussion only increases both the emotion and noise. I imagine that continues and likely picks up steam from here. It’s as good of a time as ever to try to adjust your news and informational intake to as high-signal as possible and keep an open and questioning mindset to everything you read and hear.
This week’s issue covers:
“These the red Octobers”.
Month end charts.
Deal or no deal.
Volatility divergence.
Breadth and concentration.
Pair trade idea.
