Exactly... Of course... also a clear ability to apply the same awareness in a trade other than a low ball bid... on a day you think might be a lucky day for buyers... What would the potential have been, today... in an options trade on any of those securities... when the "surprise" move made in the underlying basis... and the equities... was anything but a surprise... ? :<)

I ran through the list looking at the charts for the shares I've mentioned here... Mostly its exactly as expected... the known in the options trade had the expected impacts... creating a buying opportunity below the market... but only very briefly... Any who put in low ball bids to buy shares knowing that was coming... likely did well... if they got trades executed. Almost everything closed well higher than the lows of the day in that spike down... The rest of that is... given the up day on Monday... the increased volatility in the trade today... had very little impact on the market as a whole... and did nothing to change the individual stock outlook based on looking at the individual charts... and also didn't alter the overall performance of the issues as a market... As a group, silver stocks are sustaining their uptrend... while gold stocks are still trending lower to the right... I you bought silver shares on Friday, or early in the day on Monday... you were not in the red at any point today... and if you look at the charts now, the pattern in the result is a step change higher between Friday and Monday... still only two steps forward, and a partial step back early in the day today... leaving the uptrend in silver shares fully intact... and the trading out of the options market raid... has mostly established a steeper up-slope in the performance on the daily charts at the end of the day... The manipulation avoided having the banks losing money on their short-side options trades... but did nothing much that seems to have changed the market. One of the impacts, i suspect... of knowing the game being played... is reducing the anxiety of the players... It's certainly a lot less scary... when you can see the game being played... and make money from seeing it coming...
