While holding all other open positions, consider selling to close just half of the GMCR July 105 calls. I recommended a buy on this as recently as Monday as it traded around $3.45. It now trades at $4.60. Exit half. Hold the second half. Ian L. Cooper Forgotten...

I’m sure you’re aware of what’s still happening on Wall Street. On Friday, we were up 260 on the jobs report. Unfortunately, there’s not much truth to the report. If you want to see real numbers, look at the U6. Today, we’re down 65, sitting at the upper range of the...

Sixteen years of trading stocks and options… Sixteen years of 85% success rates.
Sixteen years of nailing perfect calls on housing, the financials, and the greater economy… Five minutes with my Uncle Mike, and apparently I have no idea what I’m talking about. There...

Something has to give with this market. We’re stuck in a range-bound nightmare, bouncing between 17,850 and 18,100. It’s been like this for that last couple of months. Just this morning, we opened up about 90 points. We’re now down 80 20 minutes later. That’s...

I’ve talked a lot about market downside. It’s why we opened a put on the DIA June 179 at $2.85. Today, as the market continues to pull back, that put last priced at $3.80. I’m recommending that you sell to close half today. I don’t believe the move lower has ended....

I told you this market was nuts. We’re still stuck in a tight channel bouncing between 17,800 and 18,100. And I’m concerned where the Dow will finally break. As the market wobbles, though, I am still finding oversold opportunities we can sneak into for near-term...

I told you this market was nuts. We’re still stuck in a tight channel bouncing between 17,800 and 18,100. And I’m concerned where the Dow will finally break. We could easily pull back to less than 17,750 this week as it finds the usual overhead resistance point. I’m...
