Unpredictable Economy Ahead
A new low for the US dollar, and a mixed bag of economic news, gave investors
few clues as to what the FOMC might do next with the interest rate.

Concerns that the housing market ills could spill over into the broader
economy have heightened fears of recession. More hints about the economy will
be revealed in the next few weeks, as 3rd quarter earning results are going
to start making their way to the market.

While most traders were still enjoying the more then expected rate cut, others
are thinking that it's not enough and are expecting another cut after the
next FOMC meeting.

Next week, aside from the 3rd quarter earnings, we get the GDP, and the
consumer spending data. Both are market movers, especially if the data is
weaker then expected.

Other data to be released next week includes inflation and construction
spending.

While not as big as the other two, inflation hurts the consumers spending, as
it robs their purchasing power, and construction spending is a leading
indicator of company's optimism. Companies tend to spend money on
construction when they see a bright future economically.

With all the data coming out next week, it almost assures a week of
volatility, with that in mind, I would like to talk about this weeks play.

When volatility spikes, no touch plays become less expensive, however that's
because they are more likely to be hit. As a result, this week, we will focus
on the up or down options available at BetOnMarkets.com.

An up or down option allows the trader to specify a trigger on both sides of
the market, and win if either of those levels are breached. Unlike its one
touch counterpart, in this situation you don't need to choose a direction.

This weeks play is on the SP500, with a 44 point trigger in both directions,
and a 20 day term, potentially yielding 7% ROI

BetOnMarkets Bet Types:

One Touch Bet: You would buy a one-touch bet if you believe the market will
touch a given point at least once before the bet expires. In other

words, a
one-touch pays out, if at any time prior to expiration, the market touches or
trades through the specified barrier. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE touches
X between today and date T]

No Touch Bet: A no-touch bet is the opposite of the one-touch bet. You would
buy a no-touch bet if you think the market will never reach a certain level
within a specified range of time. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE does not
touch X between today and date T]

Bull Bet: You would buy a bull bet if you believe the underlying
security/index/currency pair will be higher than a certain level (also
referred to as the barrier level) on the maturity date. Example: [Pays 100 if
the FTSE closes higher than X on date T]

Bear Bet: You would buy a bear bet if you believe the underlying
security/index/currency pair will be lower than a certain level (also
referred to as the barrier level) on the maturity date. Example: [Pays 100 if
the FTSE closes lower than X on date T]

Expiry Range Bet: You believe that the market will be between two distinct
levels (high and low) on the expiry date. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE
closes between X and Y on date T]

Barrier Range Bet: You believe that the market will never touch two
pre-determined barrier levels (high and low) before or on the date the bet
expires. In other words, when you buy a barrier range you will win only if
the market never touches the two barrier levels you have chosen. Example:
[Pays 100 if the FTSE never touches X and Y between today and date T]

Double Touch Bet: You believe that the market will touch two pre-determined
barrier levels (high and low) before or on the date the bet expires. In other
words, when you buy a barrier range you will win only if the market touches
both of the two barrier levels you have chosen. Example: [Pays 100 if the
FTSE touches both X and Y between today and date T]

Up or Down Bet: You win if the market touches either of two pre-determined
barriers before or on the date the bet expires. Example: [Pays 100 if the
FTSE touches either X or Y between today and date T]

Double Up Bet: A Double Up bet pays two times the premium if the market rises
above a given level between the time of purchase and the close of trading. It
expires at the close of business on the day of purchase of the bet. Example:
[Pays 100 if the FTSE closes above X between now and the close of trading
today]

Double Down Bet: A Double Down Bet pays two times the premium if the market
drops below a given level between the time of purchase and the close of
trading. It expires at the close of business on the day of purchase of the
bet. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE closes below X between now and the close
of trading today]

Intraday Double Up Bet: Buy this bet to play a market rise between two given
hourly market times today. You will have the possibility to set the starting
hour of the bet and the ending hour of the bet, and you will win double your
stake if the market follows your prediction. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE
rises between the starting time hour and the expiry hour]

Intraday Double Down Bet: Buy this bet to play a market drop between two
given hourly market times today. You will have the possibility to set the
starting hour of the bet and the ending hour of the bet, and you will win
double your stake if the market follows your prediction. Example: [Pays 100
if the FTSE declines between the starting time hour and the expiry hour]

Run Bets: These fun bets are over in the space of less than a minute; so you
can make money in seconds. Here, you have to guess the last decimal digit of
say, the USD/JPY (predict 3rd decimal place) after 5 ticks.
