Once again this month, I’m going to share info on positions that were closed in the month of May. As a reminder, our exit plans are always laid out ahead of time in each trade idea we publish. In every case, the exits mentioned below were all exited in accordance with the plan as laid out. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] A Maxim Worth Trading
We’re continuing to see strength and leadership in the semiconductor space. And a name the All Star Charts teams has been high on for some time has recently begun to break out from a new consolidation. Being that the stock is also making all-time highs — you know situations like this get me excited.
So heading into a long Memorial Day Weekend, we’re putting one more position on the books to round out our month.
[Options Premium] Mining a Bellwether
Strength in energy and metals continues.
The ASC team had a post out last week highlighting some bullish developments here, and the strength continues in early trading this week. And one stock, in particular, is threatening new all-time highs coupled with declining options prices — my favorite kind of setup.
[Options Premium] Cruising For Gains
I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been on cruises before. I don’t think I have a need to ever do them again. I mean, the time spent “in port” was where the real fun for me was. Time trapped on the boat? Meh.
But, I know many people disagree with me and LOVE going on cruises.
I’m fine with that. Especially if it gives me an opportunity to make some money. And we’ve got one such opportunity on board!
[Options] If it Worked There, Why Not Here?
We recently had on a counter-trend trade in gold that worked out (we took off the trade at our profit target this week), and we’re starting to see a similar rationale and setup in bonds.
I’m going to let Steve Strazza do most of the talking here because he had an excellent riff on this in the latest R.P.P. Report: [Read more…]
[Options Premium] A Petroleum Play
Ok, I’ve changed my mind.
A few of my readers have pinged me privately drawing my attention to an Oil & Gas sector name that could possible make for a good “catch up” trade in the space. I generally would rather play in the leaders, rather than hope for the laggards to catch up, but I’ve been observing the price action from a safe distance after the ASC team put out a bullish idea in this name during their Monthly Charts Strategy Session a couple weeks back.
I like the way it put in a hard reversal last week and it’s giving me some comfort to get in now with calls options priced pretty affordably. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] Go Where the Money Is
Reporter: “Why do you rob banks?”
Willie Sutton: “Because that’s where the money is.”
True ’nuff. And the same could probably be said of insurance companies, no?
With this in mind, we’ve got a mid-cap dividend paying insurance company with a beautiful trend thats looking like it wants more. [Read more…]
[Options] Selling Some Elevated Premium
Welcome back volatility.
Three days off the highs for the S&P 500 and twitter traders are acting like the sky is falling. And maybe it is? But at times like these, I like to look for opportunities to fade what often prove to be short-lived spikes in volatility.
And the best way I know how to do this is to look at sector ETFs and observe the ones displaying the highest relative implied volatilities. [Read more…]
