By Lawrence G. McMillan

The feature article is a relatively short one, discussing the various January seasonal patterns that exist.  Most of the article deals with the end-of-the-month “January Seasonal Buy” that we have used in our recommendations for a number of years.  There is a specific recommendation for this system on page 2.

On page 3, there is an article discussing something that has just occurred – an overlapping $VIX spike peak buy signal.  That is, a new signal was just issued, while the previous signal is still in effect. 

Our market indicators are discussed on page 6.  Essentially, we view the current situation as volatile, but neutral – until $SPX can break out from its trading range.

On page 7, an article discusses the comparison between the new $VIX, the most recent “old” $VIX ($VIXMO), and even the very “old” $VIX ($VXO).

Recommendations include a GME put write (page 8), and on page 9: a SPY option trade, a QCOM straddle, and a GOOG volatility trade.■
