Stock Market Blog -Nov 16th

The market was pretty much flat all week, though AAPL and AMZN rallied. Gold also rallied, while Oil dropped. The equity market may be getting tired here after this monster rally for the past month. We get earnings from a couple of retailers this week.

Implied Volatility in BABA is still high, so selling Credit Spread options might make sense here, in anticipation of a drop in IV.

And our National Debt is quickly approaching the $18 trillion mark -thats $18,000,000,000,000!
