Tax time is here and Americans are beginning to think about how they can be efficient and cost effective with this process. Unemployment is currently at a relative high level and was even higher during the 2010 tax year. Many Americans went in and out of gainful employment during this time and their earned income for the year was less than anticipated. As many Americans experienced a similar situation this past year, more Americans may be able to qualify for earned income tax credit tax breaks when completing their 2010 taxes this year. The earned income tax credit, or ETIC, is an income tax break for American workers that have not made beyond a certain threshold of income for the 2010 tax year. Unemployment benefits do not count towards this tax credit. This credit is refundable, so if it turns out that you are clear of owing any taxes, you will get a refund issued. Also, if you have dependent children, the amount of the tax credit could be greater. According to the legal code, if you have three or more dependent children and earned less than $43,352, one would qualify for the earned income tax credit. If you have two dependent children and earned less than $40,363, one would qualify for the earned income tax credit. If you have one dependent child, and earned less than $35,535, one would be eligible for the earned income tax credit. Finally, if you are an individual with no dependent children and earned less than $13,460 during the 2010 tax year, you would be eligible for the earned income tax credit. Be sure to determine if your given situation might qualify for this tax credit this year. Author: Genny Germano

An interesting history of the original Ford (F) automobile. I found the last part of the video most interesting, the Model T driving through snow, sand, and water. Remember, this was the company that didn’t take taxpayer bailouts, unlike General Motors (GM) and Chrysler. Disclosure: I own Ford stock and I drive a Ford.
The History of Ford: The Company that Didn’t Take Taxpayer Bailouts
VIX CHART Quick - the green candle in VIX on Friday. After meandering for the week, the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) exploded 24% on Friday, the largest single day pop for those seeking options trading information since those Flash Crash days of May, 2010. What’s it all mean? Well of course, we won’t know until this plays out. But it's not uncommon to see rushes for volatility like this on Fridays. And that sounds odd, because normally Friday is the worst day of the week for VIX. That’s because on a typical Friday, an options buyer worries most about the time decay he has to pay on his option longs. So he lowers his bids, which translates to modestly lower readings in a volatility index such as the VIX. On the flip side, options sellers generally lower their offers as well on Fridays, knowing that if nothing much happens, they earn three days worth of decay on their sales. When you spend a day seeing nothing but riots on the TV though, you naturally think less about the relative pennies you might collect on decay than you worry about the relative dollars you may fork over on an ugly gap down on Monday. At best you raise your option offers, at worst you chase and cover your option shorts. And of course as option prices increase, the next guy gets squeezed and covers, and before you know it you have a veritable VIX stampede. Nowadays we have another factor: Weekly Options. The closer an option gets to expiration, the less premium in that option. The less premium, the less cushion for the option short to absorb an accident. The less cushion, the quicker the short has to defend the position, either via stock sales or option buys (or both). Now that we have Weeklys, we have extra option shorts out there with the potential to get squeezed. It's not a huge factor yet, but it is something that can push moves further on the margins. The fear is apparently that Egypt will cause some sort of domino effect. We see these fears play out all the time. Last year it was the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) and the Euro “contagion”. In past times we’ve seen it in Latin America and the Far East. All tend to run their course as far as the market is concerned, and I have little doubt this one will too. Who knows how long that takes though. I noted last week that we get lots of fake breakouts in VIX that run counter to the prevailing trend for every one real breakout. My inclination is to fade the VIX breakout via put and put spread sales in index options, with disciplined stops in case this is in fact the real one. Follow Adam Warner on Twitter @agwarner .
