Stocks fell again in North America and
Europe as Euro Zone anxiety continues.

For the last nearly two years the investing and
trading world anguished over the state of
affairs in Greece.

Foreign currency options trading was all
over the board.

If there were to be a Greek financial
collapse, the argument went, it would
initiate a domino effect that would take
down Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and Italy.


After deliberations that seemed painfully
slow to many of us the Euro Zone came
across with the cash to bail out Greece, for
the time being.


However, the problem with the Euro Zone
is sluggish growth in attempting to come
out of the recession.


The strict austerity measures added in
response to the debt crisis and a broad
reduction in credit ratings across the Euro
Zone are probably going to keep the Euro
Zone as a whole in a recession throughout
2012.


Thus Euro Zone anxiety continues, but what
about options trading in this environment?

Options traders can profits in both up and
down markets.


Which Direction Are Stocks Going?


How soon will there be a Euro Zone
recovery and how strong will it be?


Authorities such as the International
Monetary Fund are predicting that Europe
as a whole will remain in a recession
throughout 2012 and resume anemic growth
in 2013.


Germany, however, is doing better than
most of the other countries.


Although the USA is doing better than
the Euro Zone, Euro Zone anxiety affects
the US markets as well.


As is always the case with the stock
market, prices respond to the news and
investors try to get in early on growth
opportunities.


Thus, buying calls and or puts on US or
Euro Zone stocks can be largely a matter of
following the news and reading investor
sentiment. We believe that things will be
better in a year or so.


Then we hear that Spain is having
problems again. Investors worry about a
situation similar to that of Greece.


Good news alternates with bad as Euro
Zone anxiety continues and anxiety causes
a volatile market.

Although the eventual direction of stocks
will be up there will likely be a lot of
profitable fluctuations along the way.


Are There Specific Opportunities
along the Way?


European stock opportunities, like
opportunities in US markets, come from
two factors. Long term changes in
fundamentals drive stock prices.


When these changes become evident
stocks, tend to move up or down to reflect
the new information.


Likewise, investor and trader
sentiment changes, even when the
news does not.

Traders who closely follow technical
stock trends can engage in profitable
options trading even when
fundamentals are not clear.


As Euro Zone anxiety continues in light of
concern about a declining Euro, options
traders may wish to concern themselves
with finding stocks in the Euro Zone that
will prosper in such an economy.


Euro Zone exporters may actually do better
with a cheaper Euro.

To a large degree, Japanese, Taiwanese, and
Mainland Chinese success has come from
manipulating their currencies to keep them
cheaper than they would normally be.


So, as Euro Zone anxiety continues, smart
options traders may look for stocks that
will benefit from the current situation and
stocks that will fluctuate excessively based
on market sentiment.
