UPDATE: A Loser, Stat Sheet & New Idea

Here is a quick update on a couple positions, some new data, and a new idea. Premium Trade Ideas Hi , Let me update you a bit... First, to be clear, Winning Picks Premium is not a day-trading options service. It's actually quite the opposite... The program leans more toward thematic stock investing using options as a way to minimize risk playing the idea. Here are the new Winning Picks Premium stats up to July 31st. Keep in mind, there are still several open positions still in play: Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. No trading strategy is risk free. Trading and investing involve substantial risk, and you may lose the entire amount of your principal investment or more. You should trade or invest only “risk capital” - money you can afford to lose. Trading and investing is not appropriate for everyone. We urge you to conduct your own research and due diligence and obtain professional advice from your personal financial adviser or investment broker before making any investment decision. Homebuilder Short I mentioned we were short the homebuilders. In mid June, we used the XHB September $100 puts. Those went to +60% fairly quickly. While I usually take the opportunity to sell some downside and take profits on quick moves, the chart looked like it was breaking down and I stuck with it. Surprise! It quickly ripped higher. We then rolled up into the September $100 - $112 put spreads as the stock raced toward the highs and made some money back on the pullback in early August when it went over +100%. With XHB quickly retracing back toward the highs this week, the remaining position needs a stop with a medium-loss for now on the overall position. That's not terrible when an ETF goes up 20% in your face. I call it a "win." Plus, I am now actively looking for a strategy with less risk that will give me more time to get short again at higher levels. I just wanted to keep you up to date there. Commodities OXY finally had a good day. Let's see if that continues. We now just have the November $62.50 Calls on. I've instructed Members to sell the October $62.50 or $65 calls on a move toward $60 (if we get one). At this point we have taken off ~40-45% of our initial investment actively hedging the position a bit. We have a lot of time there and we get to see earnings in early November. Second, I told you we had gotten long another commodity. It was Uranium, specifically CCJ. It's made a big move and is now up triple-digit returns. I am currently stalking a different commodity but simply watching the action. New Idea A new Call Option idea was sent out this week on a "cheap" stock with all the right code words in its business model... ...And one big problem! But that's the opportunity. The options offer great risk-reward, exactly what we are looking for. I will give you that idea by tomorrow so look out for it. Are You Ready?
