Greece volatility - the dirty spekulants thread

[browntractor]

So with a No vote and more uncertainty stock markets are going to be super volatile. And when there is volatility there's dirty cash to be made.

Having held no shares for over a year I put a couple of k in on Friday which will no doubt drop today, but now is a good time to start following the markets. I think Ftse trackers would be a good idea.

Anyone gearing up to jump in?

Trade the vol... Do a "long straddle" options trade if you have cheap cash for the premiums.

Would now be a good time to try and offload that Greek Holiday home of mine?

Sell in May and go away until St Leger's Day...

There is a reason why people say that...

Because they've received their bankers bonus, and have now pissed off to a 5* holiday resort for the whole summer?

4.7 million drachma.



or £8 as we call it.

So about the same value as the whole of Luton?

I think the market had already priced a Greek no in over the last few weeks.

The key is dollar strength, basically USD "anything" will be a winner.

eg USD/EUR, USD/CAD USD/GBP, etc

Commodities will be a downer.

Wow, the city must be bricking it after reading this thread....
I have kept a bit in reserve, market hasn't been smashed up by this but still chucked a portion in to 'buy on the dips'. This is long term, index ETF's so timing not really an issue, just makes me feel better to chuck into a downturn.

I am selling feta cheese. Or perhaps I will just eat it.

Same with Yoghurt. Or at least Greek Style. That I am definitely avoiding for now. Maybe I will be a big buyer soon if I can find a loophole.

Your USD theory is "flight to safety"... Once this mess is over the euro will rally and your indicators will show you too late.

Trading vol is the only way to trade this.
