Today is a quadruple witching day, a day on which contracts for stock index futures, stock index options, stock options and single stock futures (
SSF) all expire. It happens every quarter, in March, June, September, and December.
The market looks confused as ever today. Something doesn't feel right.
Downs:
- U.S. dollar
- Oil
- Silver
- Agricultural commodities
- Dow Jones Industrial Average
- S&P 500
- Olin (maker of Winchester)
Ups:
- Gold
- Nasdaq
- Smith and Wesson
- US Treasuries
News like this doesn't help, either.

Hi! I posted a comment on one of your old blogs...about Il Stravino Armonico. I lOVE these guys! How can I get in touch with your friend so I can ask him for permission to use one of their recorded songs ( I purchased the CD in Munich) on a video for a children's book I'm working on? Giving them credit for the music of course!
ReplyDeleteHelp! Can you have your friend email me? mdcf1@comcast.net
Thanks for listing all the commodities that have gone down and those that have increased. I think is a good data that you have displayed here, I think I can use it for my benefit.
