I think we are setting up for a nice post-election rally that could well last until the end of 2012, so I am going to start scaling into ?RISK ON? positions today.
Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, liquidity in the options market is about nil, so I am going to kick off with a long position in the most liquid contract in the market, the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY). By picking up the January, 2013 $131-$136 deep-in-the-money call Spread at $4.04 or best, we have room to take some heat in any volatility that may follow Election Day and still keep our maximum profit. The upper $136 strike also fits nicely below major support for the (SPY) just below the 200 day moving average.
For a major, in depth explanation of why I believe ?RISK ON? is he way to go here, please read my My 2012-2013 Stock Market Forecast, which should be in your inbox tomorrow morning, provided that you have electricity.
