DIA – Diamonds (Last:96.36)

by Rick Ackerman on June 8, 2010 4:14 am GMT

The Diamonds should start plummeting toward a Hidden Pivot target at 93.50 any day now. Although I’d rather try to get short into an upswing, we should make a very small bet today so that we won’t need to feign indifference if the plunge commences without warning. Accordingly, I’ll recommend bidding  2.75 for a single July 96 put.  That’s about what they might sell for if the Diamonds have to catch up to the E-Mini futures at their Monday-night levels (i.e., up about six points). _______ UPDATE (3:30 a.m. EDT):  The E-Mini S&P has been up as much as 13 points tonight, so let’s bring our bid for the puts down to 2.15.
