The bears continued their assault on the bulls last week as the market tested its August lows before making up some ground late in the week.
The Fed heads are clueless on where they want to go with QE (quantitative easing) as the zombies rubbed elbows in Jackson’s Hole while leaving more question marks than answers for Wall Street to figure out.
Meanwhile, a 3-hour trading halt on the Nasdaq brought back memories of flash crashes and fat fingers. The volatility was typical for an August trading week as volume continues to be light while the big wigs wind down their summer vacations. Friday’s rebound by the bulls was a nice bounce off the bottom of the trading ranges but they still have a little work to do before a rally can be trusted. (read more…)

As you can see, we play stocks that are going up or down and the beauty of options is that a 5% move in a stock usually equals a 100% return with the right option. For the year, our success rate is nearly 70% for ALL of our trades.
We also post a track record for our trade recommendations and we have included all of them in this email year-to-date for you to look at. You will notice we don’t count winning trades twice like some option newsletters do to hide their real results and all of our trades are done in real-time. MOST options newsletters don’t have track records because they have way more losers than winners.
We have several auto-trading firms that do the trading for those of you who can’t follow the market all day long.
Also, what makes us the best options newsletter in the industry is that we do twice daily updates at 9am and 1pm (EST) AND send out real-time Trade Alerts when there is a new trade or if we recommend taking profits outside of these times. In other words, we monitor the market all day long, every second, every minute, so you don’t have to. When there is action to take, we send out Trade Alerts and our Members Area is updated on the website instantly.
Our Weekly Wrap is also on fire this year and is a stock and options based newsletter. We find undiscovered, unloved and hidden gems that aim for double-digit returns on a MONTHLY basis and we are 30-3 for 2013 and 75-5, overall, since 2011. This newsletter doesn’t have quite the action that the Daily does but packs a powerful punch. If you are looking for a safer way to play options and learn while you earn then this newsletter is for you.
