After taking some good gains on the volatility calls in recent days, Staples, and McDonald’s, many positions in the open portfolio took a hit on the 1,000-point move lower. I recommend holding all position, though. There’s still time remaining. Today, I wanted to...

While holding all other positions in this chaotic mess we call a stock market, sell to close the DIA November 169 put for gains right now. The market looks like it wants to reverse higher after plummeting 170 points at the open. Once you close out that put, buy to...

We continue to hold all open positions. We see no reason to exit any but this one. Just yesterday, before the market ran up on absolutely nothing, we issued a buy alert on the DIA November 2014 169 put. Shortly after, we heard that some of you bought between $2.30...
