the question is equity markets or currency market ?

regarding the US equity market there is a massive shift IMHO from tech biotech to old fashion stocks which I think are close to bottom tech stocks will follow within several months.

As to currencies I am usually writing short term (2 to 3 weeks) in the money call and puts (spread of 2% to 3%) betting that one will expire worthless and the other rolling it over. Presently on my EUR USD option portfolio my DELTA is neutral and Theta is around $1,500 per day sounds a lot but not adjusting to neutral DELTA can cost you a big bundle.

Based on what is emanating from EZ I will lean toward the USD rising anticipating that the EUR will slide to the middle of the recent move by year end if things will not improve.
