Beware of Stock's Witching Hour
Four Stock Derivatives Expire on Same Friday

By Ken Little


Beware of the “quadruple witching hours!”

What sounds like a line from a cheap horror movie is actually a warning you are likely to hear four times a year when four speculative derivatives all expire on the same Friday.

The event happens on the third Friday in March, June, September and December when options, index options, single stock futures and index futures all expire on the same date

1. Have you noticed all the TV commercials for insurance of late?

Jesus H. Chirst! They are even trying to sell us insurance for our pets and household/auto maintenance. Trying AWFULLY hard to get us to hand over more $$ for them to put into Wall Street.
