This is a new weekly update from Inside Value Trader.  We simply want to keep you up to date, and issue reminders on recent buy and exit activity.

Also, please note our next webinar will be held January 23, 2015.  Please stay tuned for times and e-mailed reminders.

Since December 19, 2014, we’ve closed the following:

  • The iPath S&P 500 VIX (VXX) March 32 put for gains
  • The Velocity Shares Daily Inverse (XIV) for gains
  • The second half of the Home Depot (HD) January 87.50 put for a loss
  • The IBM January 2015 180 calls for a loss
  • The Alibaba (BABA) January 2015 97.50 put for a loss

In recent days, we opened new positions in the following:

  • The United States Natural Gas (UNG) April 2015 14 call at $1.85
  • The Velocity Shares Daily Inverse VIX ETN (XIV) at $29.70 on January 7.
  • The Velocity Shares Daily Inverse VIX ETN) (XIV) at $30.80 on January 8.
  • The VXX March 2015 31 put at $3.50 on January 7.

  • The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) January 2016 15 call at $2.25.

On January 7, we heard some of you did not receive the alert to buy XIV or the VXX put.  So, we issued it again for a January 8 buy.

Stay tuned for more buys and update shortly.

Have a great week.
