We continue to hold the Enerplus (ERF) January 22 calls. Days after issuing that buy, the position was up as much as 35%. While we heard some of you banked that gain, we held. We continue to hold today, despite the down move on dividend suspension news. We still have...

As that old The Gambler song says, “You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count you money when you’re sittin’ at table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done…” I may not be...

After producing this record since May 27, 2014: We did run into some losers. But we continue to hold everything. Thankfully, given market volatility, losses for us haven’t been a historical problem. Our Enerplus (ERF) position returned as much as 35% gains days after...

We see no reason to exit our positions in Red Robin (RRGB) or Noodles & Company (NLDS). Both may be down. But given patience they should come back very nicely. Both stocks are massively oversold and ready to reverse off these lows. With NDLS, MACD and RSI are...

Since December 2013, we’ve closed a total of 38 winning positions… and only six losers. That’s after we banked 39% and 44% gains on the Hershey (HSY) November 90 and January 90 calls just last week. Not too shabby… Today, we’re adding oil and gas drilling company,...

Consider these two higher risk trade opportunities. Shares of Noodles & Company (NDLS) have been absolutely slaughtered since IPO. But each and every time NDLS gets this low on MACD or RSI, we see a quick bounce to the upside. We hope to do that again now with a...

Well that was ridiculously easy. On August 4, we recommended a buy on the HSY January 2015 90 call as it traded at just $3.10. Today, it’s up to $4 for gains of 29%. Sell to close just half of the position to secure that quick gain. We also recommended a buy on the...

There’s good news… and there’s bad news. The bad news — The second half of the Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) August 2014 60 call is down 11%. Close this position today for a loss, as we head into Friday expiration. We walk with a net gain on this trade, though, after...

This was an easy one. After the Street discounted Ross Stores (ROST), we jumped on it with the ROST November 65 calls at $2.50. As of today, ROST is up another $1.05, sending the calls to $3.20. If you’re happy with the current gain, sell to close half of the...
