Weekender for 10/2
1. Market Summary
Board of Options Exchange Quantitative Easing Demonstrates a Very Short Half-Life
- Wednesday’s Board of Options Exchange (BOE) quantitative easing (QE) bounce demonstrates a very short half-life.
- Lots of gloom surrounding the Wednesday failure. Here we go again?
- The gloom plays into a hold at the June low and a relief move.
- Most indices show nice tests of the June lows even with the selling.
- Personal income, spending and the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) were in the morning — plenty to act as a catalyst.
The day after the Wednesday BOE QE bounce fizzled, futures were lower, stocks opened lower and never threatened turning positive. Stocks sold early, they bounced, they sold into midafternoon, they bounced again into the close — each move showing a lower low and a lower high. The half-life of the BOE QE move proved fleeting.

2. Targets Hit
Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR): IR performed so well into August, but alas, even the good die some in a bear market. IR peaked a solid move in August, then faded on low volume to test the 50-day moving average (MA). All normal. It jumped up off the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on strong volume. Very normal for a strong stock.
It rallied and moved back over the 200-day SMA with a gap. Solid. It then immediately gapped below the 200-day SMA. Uh oh. IR faded back to the 50-day SMA where it worked laterally, but struggled, slipping just below it. On Sept. 21, IR opened higher, reached up to tap the 50-day SMA, but then reversed. That was it.
We issued an alert for Investment House Daily subscribers to enter with November $45 put options trading on the ask at $2.04. IR finished that day at a new selloff low. The next three sessions, IR probed lower, landing at a gap point on Sept. 26.
That was our initial target, and IR held there that day with a doji. After a very nice drop from the 50-day MA to that support, IR was due a bounce. We issued the alert to sell with the options bidding for $3.20 and a nice 56% gain.
