Options Oracle: 06/27/14

We had really good success when we traded this stock on the Equity side of our account. CGIX trades very much in line with the technical signals making this a comfortable strategy for us on the Option side. As you can see from the chart, we have a bullish engulfing pattern today after having a bullish engulfing pattern […]

Equity Oracle: 06/26/14

This is a stock that came up during the Open House Q&A session last Monday. I’ve never traded this one but the technical signals look promising. Notice the very obvious gap that occurred when the company lowered its earning expectations. I love trading the gaps but you need to have patience in order to pick your spots.

When you sell a credit call spread you limit both your profit and risk to a certain amount. Selling this particular call spread will allow us to collect $1.55 per share times 100 shares per spread or $155 per option contract we trade. We also have to lay out $1000 per option spread to our broker, but this […]

Equity Oracle: 06/20/14

This stock has been in a narrow trading range for about three months now. The price action is showing signs of a potential break out but we have to be patient. Our goal is to wait for a green candle before we buy it and take a ride. Once you have bought the stock, it’s important for you […]

Equity Oracle: 06/13/14

I like trading the cheap stocks when the market is in an overextended condition. Should the markets go through a corrective move to the downside, like I expect it will, the cheaper stocks tend to hold well in the storm. Last year when we traded this stock we had a good return and I’m expecting the same to happen […]

On May 9th an alert went out to buy the January 32 calls for 7.75. From there, the stock broke out of the near team resistance area, retested the newly established role-reversal, and rallied to our target price. The stock moved up as planned, but the price of the calls did not move all that much. The […]

Equity Oracle: 06/05/14

It’s been a couple of years since we last traded AT&T but today we are seeing a sign that tells us we should get back into this position. As you can see from the chart, above, the stock is showing a candle pattern today. On top of that, the stock is trading just above the 200-day moving average […]

As you will see from the video I’ve put together, Nextera has been in a well-defined upward trend for the past 3 years with little sign of the trend weakening. This, along with the fact that the stock has bounced off of a key role reversal line, tells us that it’s safe enough to take a long position […]

Options Oracle: 05/30/14

Last Wednesday, May 21st, an alert went out on Home Depot to buy the January 2016 65 Calls for $15.40. There was a bullish engulfing pattern at the time and shortly after the alert went out the stock rallied. We are up about $2 on the calls and although it’s tempting to take a profit, I think it’s […]
