Trading Options – Sick of the Election already

No stock picks today – will be watching GILD’s earning after hours.

I am so sick of this election cycle – and we still have over 3 Month to go!  Really bad candidates – can’t believe these headlines:

• Business Insider – NATE SILVER: Donald Trump gets huge lift after convention, now has 57.5% chance of winning election
• MarketWatch – Donald Trump expands his immigrant ban to more than just Muslims
• Business Insider – Some Sanders-supporters are so furious about Clinton’s nomination they’re promising to vote for Trump

And of course we have the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this week:

• Bloomberg – Democrats Kick Off 2016 Convention as a Far More Progressive Party
• ZeroHedge – “Bedlam” As Wasserman Schultz Boo’d, Heckled Off Stage By DNC Delegates

I would like to skip the whole thing – let’s hope the stock market starts moving – so I have something important to blog about.

One market note: how healthy can the economy be if Oil is trading at a $43 handle?

• MarketWatch – Crude Oil – Electronic Sep 2016
