Options Oracle: 02/07/13

Posted on February 7, 2013 by in Options Oracles

You can see from the chart, above, that there is a big gap in the VIX above the market. The price has already bounced off of support and it looks as though the volatility in the market is starting to climb. This is usually a sign of a market top. Remember that the VIX is a contrarian indicator […]

Equity Oracle: 01/31/13

Last week I put an alert out to buy PPH on the breakout. I am resending this alert so you can clearly see that we have still not broken out of the resistance high. This buy alert remains in place but it’s important that you follow the steps exactly as I’ve laid them out for you so you […]

You can see from the chart, above, that there is a big gap in Netflix that still needs to be filled. The put spread that I’m suggesting is a great way to capture a profit while the stock drops to fill that gap. We currently hold a calendar call spread on this stock and we are adding this […]

Equity Oracle: 01/26/13

Last week we bought into Merck & Co. (MRK) when the candle turned green the day after the alert went out. Since then the stock has moved up nicely and it looks as though the stock has more room to go on the upside.

The trade we are making today is a move to repair the damage done on the long side of our condor spread. If you do not already have a position in Apple, Inc., then do nothing at this point. You can follow along with us so you can learn how to adjust a position that has gone against […]

Equity Oracle: 01/17/13

Here is a trade candidate that is going to require that we wait for the buy signal before we jump into the trade. Merck & Co. has enough volatility for us to trade it and it seems to follow the technical signals very well. Remember that risk management starts with the entry point.

Equity Oracle: 01/10/13

Last week we bought the ProShares Short Dow30 (DOG) in an effort to profit once the gap fills on that stock. I’m still holding this position so if you haven’t yet bought into that one with us, it’s still a good trade. In addition to this we are now looking at Huntsman as a possible long candidate but […]

I believe now is the time for us to leg in to the next part of our condor spread. We have already bought the January 2014 570 Puts and we’ve sold the February 525 Puts. This completed the first half of the Condor, which is a Diagonal Calendar Put Spread. Right now we are going to buy the […]
