Making 45% Annually Trading Options Against Dividend Growth Stocks
SPX still volatile and weak. Will the selling end or continue?
The SPX futures were able to recover before market opening so the markets opened slightly up this morning.

Futures indicate very weak opening tomorrow morning
If you are already frustrated by two weak months we just passed (December 2014 and January 2015) it looks like we are going to see February 2015 as bad as January was.

The worst market results in 2014 so far
