    Well, either way, it's a GREAT find. A classic Stoney... one that only you could dig up... and one that could pique my curiosity enough to send me down the Stoney rabbit-hole. :D

  10. STUCK IN THE GAMMA zone

    The stock market is stuck in the gamma zone. Can't get ahead, can't go home.

    Dealers squaring their books with dirty looks
    ahead of an options expiration- the largest on record for S&P 500.

    $5 trillion in U.S. stock options are set to expire on Friday, that's my get high day.
    80% are S&P 500-linked contracts - the largest such expiration in at least 20 years.

    The stock market is stuck in the gamma zone. Can't get ahead, can't go home.

    The benchmark index has not logged a greater than 1% move in either direction for 19 straight sessions. The Lizard King is bored.

    - dealers loaded with options contracts going into the last expiration of the year.

    In market parlance, the dealers are net long "gamma," and must continuously sell stock futures when equities rally and buy futures when markets sell off to keep their position neutral.

    With the huge amount of options set to expire, that buying and selling has had a knock-on effect of keeping stocks in a tighter trading range.

    The dealers' positioning "is more than likely to arrest any deeper selloff between now and year-end," Nomura strategist Charlie McElligott said in a note on Tuesday.

    NEXT WEEK GO GO GO GO?

    Expiration is likely to loosen the options market's vice-like grip on stocks, said Brent Kochuba, founder of options analytic service SpotGamma.

    Markets faced a similar situation two years ago, when a similarly large options expiration reined in volatility for part of the fourth quarter, only to give way to a 3% rally in the last two weeks of the year following the December expiration.

    "All that positive gamma is really crunching the market," Kochuba said. "The lid has been kept on volatility."
