Pump Up The (Trading) Volume

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Friday could bring a much-needed jolt of excitement to the markets.

First off, Friday marks the trading phenomena called “quadruple witching,” a scary-sounding phrase that describes the simultaneous expiration of four contracts for stock futures and options. The idea is that volumes and volatility could increase as investors move to offset positions that will expire at the end of the trading day.
Regards,
Ted
