Shameless Self Promotion
September 28, 2009
Good morning! I am back from Dallas and, unfortunately, am detained by business this morning (the time we waste working for our daily bread. Ha!) I will take this opportunity to ask that if you listen to the “Stocks And Jocks“ show via iTunes, please take a moment to rate our show. Simply go to our podcast on iTunes and click on “Rate this Podcast”. You will have a chance to leave your comments. The more ratings we have, the better our visibility in iTunes and that means we will be able to make improvements to the show, expand our guest expert outreach, as well as ensure that the show is amped up with the bells and whistles you want.

Good morning. It has been a couple of weeks since I have written, primarily due to the effort required to start the Internet show – “Stocks and Jocks”. For those who may have missed Sarah’s announcements the show airs live on www.StocksAndJocks.net every day from 11am-12pm CST and is available afterwards by archive – for on demand listening or download. Dr. J is with me, and we have a great and growing group of guests as the show gains momentum. I would encourage you to listen and participate, there is a lot going on affecting the market that we should all be understanding and talking about.
“Stocks And Jocks” is Back!

Combine the market insight of Louis Rukeyser with the humor of Seinfeld, blatantly honest stock market advice with a splash of sports and you get “Stocks and Jocks”!
This is NOT typical business news – this is a GREAT TALK SHOW that focuses on business, providing real financial information, market analysis, and breaking news right from the trenches of the trading day.

Get details and register here. Enjoy the shortened work week and I’ll write at you next week!

Good morning. Sort of an inside week for the market last week, what we in the business would call a premium sellers dream. The SPY was up a whole .41 on the week, moving from 102.97 to 103.38 (.4%). The VIX was down a little, from 25.01 to 24.76, not much of a drop considering how little movement there was. For those looking to buy long term put protection, as we do in the PIP Program, the cost for at the money put protection for December of 2011 is in the 15.5-17% of the underlying range for 28 months.
