Statistical Expectations for October

October is a pretty solid month for options trading with the Core Strategy. Notice the winning history holds pretty steadfast up until 40% returns, pair that with some phenomenal producers on the individual stock level and things are looking good. AAPL, GOOG, GS, and QQQ are often homeruns in October, providing excellent average returns and near perfect winning histories to boot. Be a little leary of GS (if Dave puts out a play for it), as we only have one data point for that option for this month. As always, make money and happy trading!
