Other than the overall market, one of the most ridiculously overbought stocks is Wal-Mart (WMT), setting up for a fall similar to what we saw with KB Home and Lennar over the last week. MACD is topping out and reversing. RSI is in the process of pulling back from...

Our American Airlines (AAL) has started out a bit rough. But I see no reason to exit the trade. I went out to May 2015 with this trade on purpose, knowing very well it would take time for the trade to work out because of oil. These airline stocks are unbelievably...

Knowing just how bizarre this market really is, consider selling to close the second half of the KB Home (KBH) April 17 put for gains of up to 79% on the second half. The first half was exited for gains of up to 53% on December 2, 2014. Since recommendation, the...

After a steady win streak, we do hold some losses. But we’re continuing to hold them all. As we wait for them to pan out, as they should, we do want to add a long-term trade on airline downside. The biggest reason airlines stocks – like United Continental (UAL) and...

“Ian, I’ve really enjoyed Forgotten Profits, and made some good money with you so far. But I’m a bit concerned about the gaming puts you just recommended. What should we do?” In references to the trades on Take-Two (TTWO), Electronic Arts (EA) and Activision...

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...
