The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

David,
ReplyDeleteIt's a beutiful thing. I loaded up on more puts on Friday. God bless Mr. Toll for selling so many shares.
Good job.
ReplyDeleteWhich trading platform do you use?
How much money do you need to invest to use puts?
David,
ReplyDeleteI have an account at Fidelity. I have not used any technical analysis, yet. It just seemed obvious to me that the market had turned in August. Puts are inexpensive to buy. You want to buy either at the money, or just out of the money options. Tol, I believe, has a long way to go. I recommend January or later dated puts, to really let the interest rises kill this thing!
