| | Good morning. Options traders reached their most bullish in 5.5 years, as measured by trading volume on the ISE and CBOE, the two largest options exchanges.
The overall level of bullish volume suggests that traders expect the market's current and strong uptrend to continue. History shows the danger of that kind of extrapolation. While we've enjoyed the market's recent gains as much as anyone else, slowdowns can and do happen. We still love options trades, but we're always on the lookout to profit and not get blindsided. Stay optimistic, but cautious.

Then, it dies off just as quickly as it rose.
The cannabis space has been one such sector. It's repeatedly hot… but just as often, it's out of favor.
For the past few years, it's been out of favor. Yet shares are showing signs of a sector bottoming. While there may not be a huge rally soon, the worst seems to be over.
