Condor Options

Maybe it’s just us, but markets seem really boring and indecisive this week. There’s not much to talk about unless you want to talk oil or bonds. We’re beyond sick of hearing and talking about oil (though we’re dipping a toe into some short positions here), and although bonds are always more exciting than people give them credit for (we’re still in love with munis this year), well, meh.

We’re in the mood to do another newsletter takedown, so if you have a site you want us to take a look at, let us know.

CXO has some interesting data on the turn-of-the-month effect. Trader Daily can help you find a trading-friendly city, if you don’t like where you are now. If you’re not already a daily reader of Abnormal Returns, you should be.
