XLP trade ideas

XLP Skew - Bullish SentimentXLP Skew - Bullish Sentiment XLPSubmit 52.31-0.02 (0.0%)SPDR Consumer Staples Select Traders are willing to offer downside puts at more attractive levels relative to upside calls. The implied volatility of the downside puts is trading at a +32.7% premium to upside calls compared to the 52 week average of +36.7%. This indicates traders are feeling a move to upside or volatility to the upside is increasing demanding less premium to sell puts vs calls. After looking at the options chain marketchameleon.com and not seeing anything in the options to do, I think I may buy the ETF that yields 1.8% and has a good history of making and raising the dividend. marketchameleon.com

MACRO VIEW: XLP IN FIRM MACRO UPTRENDConsumer Staples SPDR ETF is looking good on both short term and long term basis. On long term basis - XLP trades in both 5 and 10 year uptrend, as the price stands firmly above 1st upper standard deviations from both 5 and 10 year means It has tested its 5-year trend during the august selloff and held it successfully. On short term basis - XLP shows no trends in particular, as the price is firmly within the 1st standard deviations from 1-year and quarterly means. It is a positive development, since nothing on short term basis stands in the way of long term trends.

XLP - Consumer Staples This is supposed to be a defensive sector - well done. The structure of this impressive rally for a sector that was historically boring is showing signs of possible completion.... XLP can't be that far from a decent correction or at least multi month flat trading. Rates very low for long is probably the explanation... there is a limit to how far that can justify more progress. Trading: Short 20% at 49 stop 55 (large enough, to avoid managing crystallization but would reconvene if something different occurs)

Back to Maslow's Most Basic NeedMaslow's hierarchy of needs are categorized into five levels, Physiological needs, Safety needs, Love and belonging, Esteem & Self-actualization. From the above chart, XLP/XLY = the ratio of Consumer Staples/Consumer Discretionary, we can see that when the market is souring(simultaneously ratio is getting bigger), human being tends to have preference towards basic foods, drinks, houses & etc for security which coincide with Maslow's most important physiological needs which corresponds to XLP/XLY ratio hitting as high as 1.2-1.35 Conversely, when market is doing very well, XLY stocks are much preferred causing the ratio to be as low as 0.65 The last two max ratio was in 2001 and 2008. my projection for next max ratio is around 2017. Though 2008 economic crisis was considered one of the worst, but the lowest XLP/XLY ratio is 0.65 while the lowest current ratio is 0.63. We were even more complacent recently :-), As a consequence, i project that the next market bottom will see this ratio hitting as high as 1.4-1.5, no? After showing a monthly bullish divergence, i am seeing the slow uptrend already. P.S. Base on the ratio, it only means that during market crash, XLP stocks drop lesser compare to XLY stocks.
