As 2014 draws to a close, we wanted to personally thank you for your continued support of Inside Value Trader. While the year was quite successful, 2015 is shaping up to be even better for us, as the markets over-extend, and as oil, solar and gas names bottom out...

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...

While holding the newly issued BABA March 140 and 145 calls, let’s protect some gains here. Consider selling to close the second half of the BABA July 135 calls for up to 245% gains… Also, consider selling to close just half of the BABA July 145 calls for up to 93%...

With a normal stock, we wouldn’t see these gains this fast. But when it comes to BABA, we’re not dealing with a normal stock. The stock doesn’t appear to know what down means. It’s just moving aggressively higher. With a $200 price target, I’ll continue to recommend...

After watching the latest move in natural gas names, United States Natural Gas (UNG) is now looking a bit over-extended to the upside. It needs to reverse from overbought RSI and MACD, as well. I may look to reissue a new trade on UNG on any near-term pullbacks....

I am shocked, just shocked that winter is coming. Can you believe it? Why didn’t any one tell me, or the naïve bears that continue to write off natural gas futures, even though said futures rise and run when winter approaches? Next you’ll tell me there are warm months...

The gains with BABA have been tough to ignore… Between October 1, 2014 and now, I’ve recommended taking gains of 106% and 130% on the BABA January 90 calls, 74% and 65% gains on BABA April 105 calls, and just yesterday, a gain of 85% on half of the BABA July 135...

Our DIA December 168 calls now show a gain of 122% from a $3.15 entry price. Instead of risking the gains to market over-extension, consider selling to close the trade right now to secure. There’s also a current gain on the BABA July 135 calls. After recommendation,...

Over the last two weeks, I’ve recommended taking gains of up to 106% and 130% on the BABA January 90 call, as well as gains of up to 74% and 65% gains on the BABA April 105 calls. I even recommended a buy on the BABA July 135 calls, which now remain on hold. Now,...

On October 27, 2014, I recommended a hedged bet with VXX calls and DIA calls heading into the Fed announcement. Since then, the VXX calls have lost -49%. But we’re continuing to hold on market over-extension. At the same time, though, the DIA December 168 calls have...
