Quadruple Witching
While quadruple witching sounds rather haunting, it actually refers to your finances. Quadruple witching is when options and futures contracts expire on Friday. What is the result of quadruple witching expiration?
According to the Wall Street Journal, quadruple witching appears to be causing a good amount of stock trading. Visit the Wall Street Journal to learn more about quadruple witching and the state of the stock market.
With increased activity at the end of the year from quadruple witching, many firms might end the year on a good financial note. There are no more major earnings reports or contract expirations during the last couple of weeks of the year so this is their last opportunity to earn.
I still think the phrase quadruple witching has potential for a spooky poem or fiction story.
