However, T2108, the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 40-day moving averages (DMAs), is teetering right on oversold trading conditions. T2108 closed at 20.05%; it has to close below 20% to hit oversold. This next visit to oversold trading conditions makes the <strong>potential<\/strong> of A Santa Rally even more interesting than usual. As a reminder, the numbers very clearly show a tendency for the second half of December to deliver gains &#8211; see &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/2751675-the-numbers-and-setup-behind-this-years-potential-santa-claus-rally\" target=\"_blank\">The Numbers And Setup Behind This Year&#8217;s Potential Santa Claus Rally<\/a>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, oversold conditions in December are very rare. <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2015\/12\/03\/t2108-update-151202\/\" target=\"_blank\">In previous posts<\/a> I have emphasized how December is one of the mildest months of the year relative to average maximum drawdowns. The mildness translates into a scarcity of oversold conditions. Since 1986, there are only FOUR years where T2108 went oversold in December. One of those years was 1987 in the wake of the historic October crash of 1987. Two of those years, 1994 and 2007, featured 1-day oversold periods. The last of those years was 2008 in the middle of the financial crisis. In other words, oversold in December is a time to buy for at least a short-term bounce.<\/p>\n<p>As T2108 descended toward oversold on Friday, I set lowball offers on call options for ProShares Ultra S&#038;P500 (SSO) with December 31st expirations (go Santa!) and shares of ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures (SVXY). I did not want to miss some oversold trades in case the opportunity came in the form of a quick plunge and recovery. Only the call options triggered. I will be pouncing on SVXY at the next opportunity &#8211; presumably with T2108 dropping into oversold territory. Near Friday&#8217;s close, I went ahead and bought a single put option on ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY) just in case the market gaps up first thing Monday morning. On Friday, the VIX closed at an &#8220;elevated&#8221; level of 20.7, but it faded from a high of 23.3. SVXY still managed to close at its low. So if the VIX read is correct, SVXY (and UVXY) seem oddly mispriced.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32213\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32213\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151218_VIX.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32213\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151218_VIX.png\" alt=\"The volatility index broke through to an elevated level but faded from its high.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151218_VIX.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/151218_VIX-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The volatility index broke through to an elevated level but faded from its high.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>At an individual level for stocks, I have Goldman Sachs (GS), Apple (AAPL), and Disney (DIS) at the top of my list.

On Wednesday, FXCM gapped up, and I immediately bought shares to add to an existing holding. After a 19% gain, I decided to count my chickens and go home. Of course, I wish I still had those shares in hand.
