Still Bullish Heading into May Option Expiration

Greetings and happy Mother’s Day from the hard working scientists at iBankCoin laboratory!

Despite being a subject matter that many find uninteresting, and perhaps because it is presented every.single.Sunday (131 weeks running) in a lighthearted manner, another overlooked Exodus Strategy Session has been prepared.  At the core of it is a live quantitative trading model which serves our team quite well when it comes time to trade.

The preparations are done Sunday, with a best possible effort, in order to A. ensure we have the proper information in place to make objective decisions and B. instill the type of confidence that comes from creating your own working trading model.

This week is no different in that we have humbly prepared another Sunday report.  The only difference is we have a live signal going into next week.  It is the same signal that triggered last Sunday which called for a calm, sideways drift.  A marking of time.

While the world was going bananas over our authoritarian leader, the model called the market right again.  No mayhem, no May punishment for investors.  Smooth sailing last week was, unless you were heavily positioned in bank stocks.

Therein lies the beauty of a quantitative and objective approach to financial markets.  They do not care about your latest freakout, and if your emotional conduct is being factored into how you engage the market, you are setting yourself up for bitter failure.

Which is fine.  Maybe you need to fail, not that it is something the good folks at iBC labs with for you.  We create tools that can empower you to take control of your investment decisions in an objective way.  And while the toolkit may seem esoteric, we will do everything we can to make it more accessible for you, including live one-on-one support.

Yes, you heard right, you could have a personal discussion with yours truly about the software.  And if you have already had a phone demo, and you are still struggling to properly deploy an investing/trading approach that works for you, let’s circle back around at see if we can make it fit your workflow.

In summary, the the sell in May axiom has been a misguided story passed down by old men so far, according to 2017 performance.  However, the idea is not to sell before May, or after May, but in May.  So conditions could change during/after option expiration’s week.  Do you have the models in place to make that important assertion?

Get at me.

And again, Happy Mother’s Day.  If there is one day of the entire year your belligerent ass could project stability it is today.  Women tend to worry way to much.  Ease their burden.  Barbecue some local poultry, hopefully birds that lived a good life, in nature.  Or at the least, were allowed to roam open pastures.
