Cramer and Garner got to the bottom of the silver squeeze

Published in: DeCarley Trading Press

Jim Cramer utilized the commodity analysis written by futures broker Carley Garner on Mad Money on February 10th. 

At the top of the list of things I thought I would never see is boomers and young investors joining forces in their quest for higher silver prices. Before last week, online trading forums and social media chatter was focused on newer and exciting alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies while aged investors were content on buying precious metals bullion to hide under their beds or in secret vaults in their garage. However, the youngest and oldest market participants temporarily joined forces in an attempt to influence silver prices higher in hopes of a short squeeze similar to what was seen in GameStop and AMC stock.

In the end, the silver short squeeze appears to have failed. There are several reasons for this; for starters, silver is a global asset that can be mined whereas GameStop stock was a nearly forgotten asset with a limited number of shares. More importantly, while GameStop stock had an unhealthy number of short positions, silver speculators and fund managers were already long the market. It is hard to squeeze the shorts if there aren’t many of them.

How to hedge your stock portfolio using E-mini and Micro E-mini futures and options.

Join us as we go back to the basics by looking at the E-mini and Micro E-mini stock index futures vehicles for hedging rather than speculating.

Trading Micro E-mini Stock Index Options on Futures

How to use the CME’s new Micro E-mini Stock Index Options to Speculate and Hedge Around the Clock

 

2020 brought unprecedented market volatility but, in turn, it also provided an incentive for the CME Group to offer options trading on its new suite of micro-sized stock index futures. Micro E-mini options open the door to fine-tune risk and reward prospects with proper position sizing and they also enable small traders to speculate with nearly any strategy while trading within their means. In short, account size is no longer a barrier of entry to the various options trading strategies and covered calls and puts which would require large margin requirements and the acceptance of significant risks when executed in the larger E-mini futures and options contracts.

In this video we discuss:

• What are Micro E-mini options?
• Micro-sized futures and options on the CME trade 23-hours per day!
• How can Micro E-mini options be used to hedge futures positions?
• Constructing ultra-low-risk option strategies using Micro E-mini options.
• Option spread trading: butterflies, vertical spreads, and outright long and short options.
• Trading closer-to-the-money with less risk.
