For now, the port itself is the destination. Unwelcome by dealers and buyers, thousands of cars worth tens of millions of dollars are being warehoused on increasingly crowded port property.

And for the first time, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Nissan have each asked to lease space from the port for these orphan vehicles. They are turning dozens of acres of the nation's second-largest container port into a parking lot, creating a vivid picture of a paralyzed auto business and an economy in peril.

"This is one way to look at the economy," Art Wong, a spokesman for the port, said of the cars. "And it scares you to death."

I constantly hear from people that trading is the same thing as gambling. This is typically from the uneducated who have seen too many news shows about somebody who lost it all day trading. However the difference between Vegas and the Markets CAN be big if you play the game the right way. Here are a few things to consider when comparing the two

1. Gambling, with the exception of a few games like Poker and Black Jack are largely games of chance and the odds are always slightly in favor of the house.

2. In the Markets like in Poker or Black Jack you can wait until you have a statistically significant edge then and only then do you place your bets. Unfortunately in cards you have to pay an ante or minimum bet and you have to wait until you get good cards or in the case of Black Jack be a card counter. In the Markets you can do research until you find stocks that have an edge. Until you find an edge you can wait patiently and keep your money in cash.

For example you can look at the trend. If you purchase a stock when it is in an uptrend, the S&P is in an uptrend and the industry the stock is in an uptrend and you do a bit of fundamental analysis on the stock then you've already stacked the odds enormously in your favor.

Doing these three things alone can make the difference between a winning portfolio and a losing one. Fortunately or unfortunately the old adage, Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, can't be said about the Stock Markets and one needs to remember that gambling is entertainment and trading is a business.

Why there isn't millions of people tearing down Washington right now is beyond me.

Last Week's Trades
We entered a Bear Call Credit Spread on JP Morgan (JPM) back on October 23rd. We entered the spread at $1.25 and it is now trading at .50 giving us a $75 per contract profit. The options expire this Friday the 21st. On Wednesday of this week we entered a Straddle on DELL. With earnings coming up we are looking for this trade to make a big gap after market close on the 20th. We entered the spread at $2.95 and it is now trading at $3.17. If the volatility continues to expand the price of the Straddle we may decide to book our profits and exit this one early.

Market Trend
The market trend is still down with a sell signal on the weekly chart from September 4th. Despite being deeply oversold the market continues to fall with the occasional short-lived rally. In order for the weekly trend to turn up we would need to get above the 1008.50 level. Although this is starting to look less likely, anything can happen in this market so be prepared.

Commercial Traders
The commercials are still selling the market and we should not look for any sizable recovery until they become buyers. In addition the large speculators, which are individual traders with large accounts are reaching their all time high long position, meaning that they might be running out of buying capacity and unable to support this market any longer.

Seasonal Tendencies
We have two typically bullish days this week. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving has been up 12 out of the last 14 times and this Friday the S&P is up 67% of the time.

Forecast
We still have mixed signals, but most things are pointing down. We may get the bear market rally that we've been talking about this week or things may just continue to see saw like they have been. But overall we definitely do not want to be buyers in this market yet.

Trades to Take
Right now we are purposefully keeping our risk low and our positions few. In order to take some low risk high probability directional trades we want to see the markets rally for a bit and then jump in on the short side. Until then we'll just keep looking to do Straddles and Strangles on earnings and hopefully we can add a few credit spreads. However there is also nothing wrong with staying in cash until we see some good opportunities.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Trading,

Last Week's Trades-
We entered a Bear Call credit spread on JP Morgan back on October 23rd and that is currently the only trade that we are holding. We did have a scare as the stock climbed up to the $42 area, but it has since plunged back to our entry of around $38.00. With 2 weeks to go until expiration we do expect to see this stock take a dive. If the spread drops to about .25 we may decide to exit early as this would give us a profit of 2% on our overall accounts for the month. If not we will hold it until expiration for full profit.

Market Trend
The market trend is still down with a sell signal on the weekly chart from September 4th. However the S&P is technically oversold on the weekly charts with the stochastics below 20 on. To get a technical buy signal the S&P needs to breach 1008.50, which we feel is likely to happen sometime over the next week or so. This would technically put us into a weekly uptrend.

Commercial Traders
The commercials were net sellers on Tuesday, which was the high for the week. Without commercial support we do not expect any sustainable moves to the upside, and once we get out of this technically oversold stage we do expect the downside to resume.

Seasonal Tendencies
There is nothing terribly exciting about the seasonals this week. Friday is typically a bullish day up 66% of the time.

Forecast
There is a lot of conflicting data, with the technicals looking ready to move up, and the commercials still selling the market. We are still seeing is a consolidation period that we talked about last week. This is likely to lead to sideways to higher markets in the short term (over the next few weeks) However the longer term trend (over the next few months) looks down.

Trades to Take

We did intend on doing an Iron Condor Spread last week, but given the volatility of the market lately and that we are coming into expiration pretty quickly here the Reward to Risk ratio wasn't good enough to justify doing one.

I know that most of you want to take trades right now because you're seeing these big moves, but taking trades just hoping to make money isn't a smart thing to do. Waiting patiently for high probability trades is what we want to do. The fact of the matter is right now the market is making big moves up for a couple of days and then big moves down for a few days. This is great for day traders, unfortunately that is not what we do here.
So what this means is that this month we might only make 5-10%, rather than the 15-20% that we have been. Just remember that's what most people will normally make all year and this year most people will be taking double digit losses on their portfolios.

So again our goal is not only to help you make money, but also to help you save money, by keeping you out of the markets during the less predictable periods.
