On January 15, 2014, we issued a buy on the DIA September 170 calls. Even though the Dow pushed to 17,300, it wasn’t enough to give us a gain on the trade. These are set to expire today. Exit now.

After a great win streak, we do have positions that are down. But we continue to hold everything with original catalysts still in place. Much of the chaos on the Street is thanks to the Fed, economic worries, and geopolitical issues that have wreaked havoc for quite...

After a dizzying week of ups and downs, the market is finding weakness at double top. Failure could send it down badly, which is why we hold the DIA November 169 put. At some point, the Dow needs to correct. Hold that and all other open positions. We see no reason to...

Yesterday, we exited half of the TOL December 2014 36 put for gains of up to 29%. Today, after watching the underlying stock, we feel it’s best to exit the second half of the trade for up to 33% gains. It’s better to be safe than risk the gain here.

Jim Cramer wants investors to buy Home Depot (HD) on weakness. Apparently, he’s not a technical guy because there is good downside risk here. We can look at this chart for two seconds and tell you this is not a sustainable move. MACD alone tells us HD needs to...

We caught the Dow upswing from it 200-day moving average, walking with gains of 62% and 27% on DIA October 167 calls the other week… But we were sure to jump out at double top, where the Dow is beginning to break down. The Dow is insanely overbought on RSI and MACD…...

After closing many wins since late July 2014, we do have some losses. But we continue to hold all open positions. Today, we have a new trade. And it should work out beautifully. It’s silver. It’s over-extended to the downside on MACD and RSI, as the underlying...
