Consider ZUMZ Call on Overreaction

Just last week, we closed the second half of the DIA July 182 put and the KORS July 47.50 call for respectable gains. We still hold a MCD June 95 put and a new MCD August 97.50 call. We hold the AXP July 80 call, the QCOM June 67.50 put, the ERIC July 11 call, and the...

Exit DIA and KORS

In May, I recommended a buy on the DIA July 182 put, exiting half for gains of 16%. Today, I’m recommending that you sell to close the second half for gains, as well. In late May, I also recommended a buy on the KORS July 47.50 call, exiting half for gains of 47%...

Exit half of KORS, Consider MCD

As expected, KORS is just beginning to move higher from our May 28 recommendation. There’s a good amount of upside remaining here. Consider selling to close half, though, to secure gains. As for new trade ideas, consider a long bet on McDonald’s (MCD). The stock has...

Exiting GMCR, Entering DIA Put

Two days into the GMCR July 105 trade, we were up about 35%. While I did hear some of you exited and walked with gains, we were not able to jump out. The exit alert didn’t hit my inbox until 4:01 pm EST. The next day, GMCR fell apart. It continues to fall apart today....

Exiting half of GMCR Call

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...

Consider GMCR July 2015 105 Calls

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...

Exiting half of PG Calls

That was fast. On Wednesday, we issued a buy on the PG July 2015 80 calls, as they traded around $1.85. Today, the position is up to $2.50 on last trade. If you’re happy with the gain, consider selling to close half for a quick two-day gain. Have a great weekend. Ian...

Consider Buying to Open PG Calls

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...
