JC has a short post up today about “The Oil Dilemma.” He and I talked about this situation yesterday and I like the way it is setting up for a little premium collection to complement an existing position we have on the books. [Read more…]
[Video] Options Trade of the Week w/ Sean & JC
On August 11th, Sean and JC hopped on a Twitter Live Stream to discuss a recent trade idea for All Star Charts Options Members.
Here’s the play:
“We’re buying a $AEO Sept/Jan 35 Call Calendar Spread for around a $2.10 debit. This means we’ll be short the September 35 calls and long the January 35 calls.”

Soar Like an Eagle
The latest Follow the Flow report is out, and as always there is a play therein that caught my attention.
It’s a bullish idea, but I’m going to play this one in a unique way in order to hedge myself a bit in a tape that feels a little sluggish at the moment. I want to get paid to wait out the slow times we’re likely to “enjoy” from now until Labor Day weekend, and possibly beyond. So this will involve a calendar spread, but with a twist…
[Options Premium] Supporting Business
As always, there are a number of interesting investment ideas in the latest 2-to-100 Report published this week.
The one that most caught my eye has seen a recent collapse in options volatility resulting in cheap calls for us to play for an extended breakout. Cheap calls on stocks printing all-time highs are my absolute favorite play to make. So as you can imagine, I’m eager to jump right in. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] Your Grandfather’s Stock Might Be Set To Run
There’s a reason long-time investors are invested in low volatility household names that pay steady dividends: because over the long run, they work! The steady dividends and low volatility can be counted on to take care of us in retirement. This is a lesson I’ve been trying to teach my 7-year old Son. We created a small account for him and we’re teaching him the power of investing in what you know (or in our case, in companies we spend money on as a family) and in companies that pay dividends which teaches the power of compounding.
One of those names we’re invested in is also now showing up on All Star Charts momentum scans and may be set to accelerate its price price action.
[Options Premium] August Monthly Conference Call
[Options] Monthly Positions Review – August
Once again this month, I’m going to share info on positions that were closed in the month of July. As a reminder, our exit plans are always laid out ahead of time in each trade idea we publish. In every case, the exits mentioned below were all in accordance with the plans as laid out.
As we head towards August expiration, we only have one open position remaining with expiring August options. But July was certainly a busy month for exits — both profitable and not — as a couple of market whipsaws shook the trees and knocked us out of a bunch of positions.
Positions with August options that need monitoring: [Read more…]
[Options] A Retail Hedge
As markets have gotten choppy lately, I’ve been on the hunt for more bearish and neutral trades to help balance out my predominantly long portfolio.
In this week’s Follow the Flow report, Steve Strazza teed up a nice candidate for some downside exposure. The beauty is, the Options Gods are lining it up such that we can affordably take an aggressively bearish position that will pay off nicely if it works, while limiting our risk if we’re wrong.
