After a respectable run of good wins – especially the BABA call trades – we still hold all open positions. We see no reason to exit anything. We’re also running into a bit of market “fun” these days, as volume ticks lower ahead of the Thanksgiving break. Be prepared...

After a great win streak, I do hold losers. Most remain on hold. If you’re still holding the VALE December 12 call, let it expire. This trade should have worked out much better than it did. At the same time, it’s time to exit the second halves of the MCD December 95...

On Friday, I issued a new buy on the GILD February 2015 97.50 put, and the SNY June 2015 47 calls. Both are already showing gains. Hold both… Even though I do see further downside in the GILD stock, I do want to secure gains on the second half of the GILD January 105...

After a good amount of research over the weekend, the short side of gaming companies has piqued my interest, including Take Two (TTWO), Electronic Arts (EA) and Activision (ATVI). Each is technically over-extended to the upside. With TTWO, for example RSI and MACD...

After taking quite a few wins off the table, I still hold losses in the portfolio. All remain on hold, though, with plenty of time remaining on most. One of the big winners still being held is the GILD January 105 put. We now show a gain of 48% on the trade and...

While holding the newly issued BABA March 140 and 145 calls, let’s protect some gains here. Consider selling to close the second half of the BABA July 135 calls for up to 245% gains… Also, consider selling to close just half of the BABA July 145 calls for up to 93%...

With a normal stock, we wouldn’t see these gains this fast. But when it comes to BABA, we’re not dealing with a normal stock. The stock doesn’t appear to know what down means. It’s just moving aggressively higher. With a $200 price target, I’ll continue to recommend...

After watching the latest move in natural gas names, United States Natural Gas (UNG) is now looking a bit over-extended to the upside. It needs to reverse from overbought RSI and MACD, as well. I may look to reissue a new trade on UNG on any near-term pullbacks....

I am shocked, just shocked that winter is coming. Can you believe it? Why didn’t any one tell me, or the naïve bears that continue to write off natural gas futures, even though said futures rise and run when winter approaches? Next you’ll tell me there are warm months...

The gains with BABA have been tough to ignore… Between October 1, 2014 and now, I’ve recommended taking gains of 106% and 130% on the BABA January 90 calls, 74% and 65% gains on BABA April 105 calls, and just yesterday, a gain of 85% on half of the BABA July 135...
