Bears Getting Restless

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

12:30pm (EST)

The market was in a downtrend to start today’s session but starting to bottom an hour into the session.  The bulls still have work to do just to get back to even and they only have another day to try and win the week.  The second half of trading will be important but Friday will be an even bigger day despite the lack of economic news.

There were a few notable reports today that included Initial Claims, Housing, and the Philly Fed.  The numbers were pretty good across the board and that has helped the bullish case but the bears are getting restless.  Yesterday was the first day of spring and after a long winter of hibernation, we are watching for more clues for a possible pullback.

The dips have been bought all year long but at some point they won’t be.  Next week is the end of the quarter so we could see underperforming fund managers chase while at the same time, the ones who have done well could lock-in gains.  We will have a clearer picture over the weekend after doing the charts and reviewing the week but we are starting to prepare for a pullback.

As we head to press, the Dow is down 44 points to 14,467 while the S&P is lower by 6 points to 1,553.  The Nasdaq is declining a double-deuce (22 points) to 3,232.

We have plenty more to talk about inside our Members Area so let’s get on it.

Bulls Hold Bernanke Bounce

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

9:00am (EST)

The bulls were able to snap a 3-sesion skid following an opening bounce and more reassurance from Uncle Ben.  The Fed Chairman said that even though the U.S. economy has improved, he has no plans to slow quantitative easing until he is convinced the recovery can be sustained.

The unemployment rate has fallen to 7.7% but Bernanke repeated that the Fed plans to keep its short-term interest rate near nada until unemployment is below a “threshold” of 6.5%.  Big Ben also said the central bank may vary the size of its current $85 billion monthly bond purchases depending on if and how much the job market keeps improving.

In other words, Bernanke is waiting for more people to slowly “retire” from the workforce because the real unemployment numbers are north of 10%.  Initial Claims are counting a worker who works 2 jobs twice because they can’t find full-time jobs.  Companies are cutting hours to 30 or less to avoid Obamacare with small companies keeping payrolls under 50 employees to avoid healthcare costs.

Bernanke’s carefully thought out words were all the bulls needed to hear and why the bears are having a hard time fighting the Fed.  With the printing presses at full speed ahead, the market powered higher to recoup much of this week’s losses. (read more…)

Bears Bring Out Bulldozers, Hit Brick Wall

Monday, March 18th, 2013

2:00pm (EST)

The bears tried to ambush the bulls at the open on renewed worries over Cyprus which is trying to impose an unprecedented levy on bank deposits to secure a bailout.  The bailout was expected over the weekend but the terms have shocked Wall Street.  The country is trying to tax bank accounts with a one-time fee to help support the bailout.  This would require people to pay a 6.75% tax on accounts under 100,000 euros and 9.9% on anything over.

Needless to say there was a rush on the ATM’s over the weekend and it brings into question the safety of overseas deposits, and to a degree, the ones here at home.  American bank accounts are protected up to $100,000 by the FDIC but, can you imagine the outrage here at home if the zombies in DC went after our savings?  We aren’t sure how many people own tanks but here is a picture of the chaos unfolding in Cyprus.

Bull31713

We gave some downside targets to watch for at the open and they held up well as the market has bounced off its lows.  We knew volatility would be picking up with the back half of March coming but the resiliency by the bulls is clearly visible although there was a little panic at the open.  We saw this at the end of February over the Italian elections as the market fell 3% from highs to lows intraday but support continues to hold as the dips are being bought.

Cyprus won’t make an official decision until Tuesday and banks are still closed.  ATM’s are being replenished but we aren’t so sure how accurate that report is.  Cyprus is the third smallest economy in the Eurozone and has become a money-laundering haven with its lower corporate tax rates and blind eye to large deposits.

There will likely be repercussions down the road for the market but today’s its not such a big deal and the bulls have Ben Bernanke as backup.  It should be an interesting week to say the least.

As we head to press the Dow is down 29 points to 14,484 while the S&P is lower by 5 points to 1,555.  The Nasdaq is off 7 points to 3,241.  We have a lot to cover so let’s get on it.  Subscribers, check the Members Area for the updates.

Bernanke Helps Bears Snap Losing Streak

Thursday, December 13th, 2012

9:00am (EST)

The bulls controlled much of Wednesday’s action before a late day fade gave the victory to the bears.  The market rallied to new highs after the Fed announced another round of quantitative easing (QE4) of $45 billion a month to replace Operation Twist which was considered QE3.5.  

The recently launched QE3 program that committed the Fed to buying $40 billion a month in mortgage-backed securities is still ongoing, raising the Fed’s monthly stimulus package to $85 billion a month, or more than $1 trillion a year.  The market cheered the news as the indexes tested new highs during Wall Street’s lunch break.

This left the rally in the hands of Big Ben who said the Fed would target a 0%-0.25% short-term interest rate as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%.  This was a pretty big deal because it will be the first time interest rates will be tied to the unemployment rate but that is where the rally stopped dead in its tracks. 

The problem with a 6.5% unemployment rate is that it is not expected until mid-2015.  Maybe by then the zombies figure everyone will have given up looking for work which drops them out the labor force, thus lowering the unemployment rate.  Brilliant!  It may be a good magic trick for the public to hide the truth but we continue to remind our readers the real jobless rate is north of 15%.

The market saw right through Bernanke and folded like a cheap lawn chair.  The bears called his bluff when he stuttered and said the historical unemployment rate was south of 6% and where we need to be but that’s not realistic anytime soon.

Special Offer Membership and Chance to Win an iPad

Friday, December 7th, 2012

12:05pm (EST)

We love Christmas time as it is our favorite holiday of the year.  It is nice to receive cards, letters, and gifts but it is more about caring.  Our subscribers mean a lot to us and every year we offer a huge discount on yearly memberships because we want you to learn how the market works and we want you to find your own trades.  More importantly, we want you to make money.  There is no bigger thrill once you learn to trade options and find your own trade that returns you 500% in a matter of days or hours.

We are a high risk/ high reward option investment Daily newsletter and we also offer “safer” option and stock trades through our Weekly Wrap newsletter.  The Daily newsletter targets triple-digit returns for every trade and offers 2-3 trades a week, depending on market conditions.  We have nearly 200 trades on the books this year and our Track Record is 122-54 for nearly a 70% win rate.  We have recommended over 30 triple-digit winners with gains up to 400%-500% and most trade recommendations range from 50%-80% returns.

For our Weekly Wrap, we are 26-0 on trade recommendations.  We were 16-0 in 2011 and we are 42-0 since inception.  Overall for 2012, our Track Record is 147-54 which is a 73% success rate.  This is by far, one of the best, if not the best, option trading services out there.  We have not had a losing year since we started the newsletter in 2008.

The cost for a 1-year membership is $924 for the Daily.  This is $77/ month and much less than the $97 or $129 monthly memberships.  The Weekly Wrap is also $924 for a 1-year deal.

We will be offering them BOTH for $924.  This is a 50% savings.

We also offer an option trading course, How to Trade Options on Momentum Stocks, that is valued at $895.  The course comes with bi-monthly videos and currently has dozens of videos on trade setups, how to find trades, and how to read charts.  The course is also shipped to you at no charge and you can read more here.

We are also doing two more special incentives.  One is we are offering an extra 20% discount through this weekend only that will lower the price to $740/ or around $60 a month for both publications.

We do this because we will be printing the new, updated option trading manual with more charts and tips, and we need to know how many we need to print and to keep our costs (and yours) as low as possible.  After this weekend, there will not be a 20% discount but you can still get both the Daily and Weekly Wrap for $924.

The iPad offer is this.  If you signup this weekend for the 1-year deal, you will be eligible to enter an educated guess on where the Dow will be on the last trading day of the year at the close on December 31, 2012.

We will take all entries by Sunday night by midnight (EST) and we will confirm them with each subscriber.  The one who comes the closest on the Dow, over or under, will win a brand new iPad.

Your prediction must list the Dow’s closing price with two decimal points.  In other words, if you believe the Dow will end at 13,600 – you will need to use 13,600.00.

The coupon code for the 20% discount and the special deal will end Sunday night.  You will need to click on the 1-year Daily subscription link and enter the code to get the discount.  You will need to email our support team no later than 11:59pm (EST), Sunday, December 9, 2012.  We will list the high and low predictions on Tuesday morning.

You can also call us if you have questions.

The special offer will run through December but in order to get the EXTRA 20% discount and the chance to win a beautiful, brand spanking new iPad, you must signup this weekend!

We cannot break these rules so please do not write and ask us on Monday if it is too late to get in.  It would not be fair to other subscribers.

The next video for our option course will be out soon and we will be covering a host of topics so make sure you get on board.  This is by far, the best deal we offer and it only comes along once a year.

Here is the coupon and please be sure to click the 1-year Daily membership.

Trader Comments:
    I just want you to know that I love the way you write and explain everything. I am new to this, and have lost 50% of my account until I met you guys. Iit is slowly coming back. I will be calling to set up a year of membership rather than the one quarter. Thanks again, and LOVE YOU ALL. REGINA L.

    Rick, I appreciate the advice. I think I will just sit back and utilize your selections only for awhile. This will obviously save me a great deal of money in commissions. I have gone thru your entire site including the video on money management. This has brought me to the stark realization that I have been trading too much for too little. I definitely have not been "swinging for the fences", but I also think I have been getting impatient with trades and getting out too fast. This has no doubt caused me too trade too much. I like, and definitely agree on, the advice on money management. Thanks for the help. STEVE T.

    Thank you!!! I held on to the NFLX position since Nov. 13 at a cost of $1.89. Sold ½ on April 14th for a 540% return and the other ½ upon earnings for 702% return. Total profit of $11,615 a 621% return. Keep the recommendations coming and thanks to you and your team for the service you provide. SCOTT H.

    Rick & Team, GREAT Call on NKE for my two trading accounts:
    1) Entry at .65, out at 1.45, 1.55 Profit = $415
    2) Entry at .60, out at 1.75, 1.50 Profit = $485 PETER G.

    Hey Rick! Here is an update on what your picks have done in my accounts.

    1) Great call on the JoyG March 55. I bought when you said, then bought again on one of the dips. Booked 80+% profit. Made enough to pay for your service for years to come.

    2) Also booked profits on your Berk Feb 74 (80%) and threw a major chunk of change at the March 75’s (190+%). I would have never known that Buffet's stock had split if it weren’t for your service. Bought the shares also for the long haul. Won’t look at them for another 20 years. Great job on getting us in before the indexes did.

    3) Took profit on your Imax March 12.5. 20 cent trailing stop at 1.90 yesterday. Not sure what the profit on that was, but profit is profit.

    I see that you took a loss on some of these. It’s all good. I look to trade your “ideas” not your exact calls. I THANK YOU! For your ideas and commentary. Keep up the good work. And keep those ideas coming. LAWRENCE O.

    Loving this subscription so far! I got into the BRK feb 76 calls the day you talked about right before the split...now up over 300% (0.70 to 2.475)! Keep the good picks coming and let's see some OSIS and EMC upside soon! Just wanted to share my positive enthusiasm on your newsletter...it gives us individual investors great ideas on not only the options market, but also the broader equity market! Case in point is BRK...I can't always read the breaking business news but its easy to read your twice daily updates on my smartphone...helped me get some BRK shares immediately after the split which I will hold for the long haul! Thanks again! C.J.

    Aloha Rick - Thank you so much for the great CL pick. I am not sure if there was buy-out/merger news or what but at 3PM today Colgate-Palmolive absolutely EXPLODED to the upside, and my calls turned into green candy when they went from 1.40 to 3.8 in a matter of seconds! I even sold a few for over 4.0! Much thanks and keep the solid picks up my friend, honestly. Only a fool would scoff at 267% gains... Peace! SHAUN

    I like the fact that you ask for comments from subscribers. Good customer service. By the way, am enjoying the service so far. Some good profitable calls. Keep up the good work. MICHAEL K.

    Woo hoo! Out for 50% on WMT this am. Making up for my depression for getting out of pcln for a 30% gain monday :( you the man! any word on the manual? My friend Mike ( who I sent to your service) told me he emailed you about your integrity in reporting fills. I echo that sentiment big time.. keep it up! Cheers!
    PARAG P.

    Hi Rick, as a new member all I can say is, 'show off' LOL, with PCLN. JAY P.

    Rick, I am a new subscriber to your service, and I want to say I am impressed. I am impressed by your results, but more than that I am impressed by your reporting of your fills. You could have easily said you got that Wal-Mart call today for 80 cents, instead you reported 98 cents! Good job and keep it up, I watched the reporting of the fills first, and then I subscribed. Thank You. MIKE

    Hi, good morning. I jumped the gun a little on this one (PCLN). But still made $1,675.00 profit!! Very happy!! Keep up the good work!! Thanks. TRISH D.

    Hi there, I have joined recently, and I am very happy to tell you that I am up over $10,000 on your picks in a month. I started on 10/7 with the Intel pick. I'll be your member for life. Please don't quit on us. Also, I am learning a lot about options. I didn’t get in your recent APOL and that gold trade and only had one loss on CHK. I appreciate all the DD you do. I enjoy your market commentaries. Best advice site period, and I have tried a few here and there. Again, you guys rock! MIN L.

    Thanks be to Momentum Options Trading for providing me with some fantastic wins. I just started with this service and am up nearly 50% in less than a month. There have been losses, but if I manage them properly, I will continue the best efforts given on the blog (in which there are no complaints). What a great cause for humanity. I feel more confident about my trades and continue to play the wins. Best of all, I am now keeping my regular paychecks in the bank! Thank you! JOE G.

    Rick - I wanted to say thanks for getting me started on the right foot with your service. I have made six trades since starting on October 22, 2009. Five are winners and One loser netting me $6,245. Thanks again and keep the trade recommendations coming. GREG F.

    I got into the Nike 60 Call at 1.85, sold at 5.00, also bought a 55 put at 1.05, but got stopped out at .35. What a ride! $2830.00 in the black even with the put. It's right at 100% return. I hope earnings season coming up is going to look like this trade. NOEL

    Nice call on Nike. I think I'll go buy a pair with my profits! : ) I did the straddle for safety but still made 62% on the trade. Not bad for less than 24 hours. If Goldman is right, then the Nov 70s or 75's could be a steal today. TODD F.

    What a sweet way to get introduced to Momentum. My first trade based on your picks and it a 2X. Thank you! PAUL H.

    “Limit order was set at 1.60 on RIMM so it sold. I may have left some money on the table but you can't go broke making a profit. That was a fun trade. Thank you. Good call. I’ve been watching and trading Rick's advice since March. It’s usually a fun ride, but I give him heck when it's wrong to. :) ” NOEL

    “Your service rocks! I made bank on Dendreon last week! The other thing I have to say is that it took me quite a while to find a REAL options trading service like yours. Most of what’s out there is 99% scam and very sketchy. Momentum Options Trading is the first service I found that I can trust and seriously make money with.” CHRISTIAN

    “I made $420.00 on ANF in 2 days. Thanks for the trade and updates on getting out of the trade.” JOHN

    “I did follow a lot of your trades with 1-2 contracts per trade and YTD I’m up 108%. I try not to follow blindly by not entering all of your trades and sometimes entering the ones you don’t. I entered AIG a few weeks ago against recommendation – that one hurt.” CHARLES M.

    “I have been following you for several months and am interested in the new service. I hate to see the free service go away but as they say, “all good things must come to an end”. My ability to join will be greatly influenced by the monthly fee so I’m very curious to see the new prices. Thanks for making April a great month for me and my family.” BRYAN C.

    “I have really enjoyed the past month since finding your blog. You have made some great calls. I would appreciate info. on the new options mentoring program. Thanks.” JOHN H.

    “Hi Rick, I have been following your blog for several months now and I would like to be including on the list for your new service and to receive more information about it. And yes I was a Dendreon winner with your tips. Turned $280 into $7700, and literally saved my butt.” JEFFREY

    “I made over 6k on your Dendreon trade, and I’m very interested in learning how you pick and trade options. Sign me up.” ED

    “Rick – Wow what a day! I got in at the Dendreon calls at $2.25. Thanks to for your advice. I appreciate that. This company has a lock on this type of therapy and no one else in the world is close. Kind of reminds me of the type of companies that Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet suggest that investments be made in. Companies that can build a moat around their business model, that allows them to charge a premium for their product or service. In other words - a monopoly.” GREG

    “Hi Rick, Thank you so much for the Dendreon trade, I made almost $10,000 with that trade with a little over $2,000 investment. You have shown me the power of options trading. Again, thank you so much for all your inputs.” KEN

    “Hi Rick, thanks for the encouragement to play the dendreon calls! did freaking great! Got in the first lot at $1.44 on 3-24-09, sold at $2.45, 70% not bad. Bought it back at $2.30 on 4-7-09 closed out on 4-14-09 for 454% gain! Wow! I love it when that happens. So, thanks the encouragement to get back in when others were saying sell, sell, sell. Keep up the good work.” GARETT

    “Rick – Thanks for Dendreon – it has made all the headlines today! I missed on RIMM earlier, but I’ve been holding onto DNDN calls since 3rd week March. Of course today it all paid off today, as DNDN rocketed up.” TERENCE

    Rick, I purchased 10 contracts of the Nike March 85 puts Thursday afternoon for $2.00. Thing is, I was upset because the puts went down to $1.60 or so before the market closed. Well, needless to say Nike didn’t impress Wall Street and when I turned on the computer this morning the puts were worth $7.10! Sold them for a $5,100 profit!. Thanks again, you are the MAN. Chuck J-

    Hi Rick,

    I will start off with a thank you for your time and dedication to all
    the research you and your team commit yourself to. This is not me just being excited about the profits I have accumulated aka (bank) ! You have helped me get back to the passion I had of researching stocks/options. Keith N-

    Hi Rick,

    I want to share my great results on GMCR. Based on your comments on February 15th, I bought 20 options at $0.28. They closed today at $7.00, which is a 2,300% gain. My $560 dollars turned into $14,000 in less than a month. In decades of trading, this is my single best trade ever. Thank you! By the way, the Dow was down 228 points today and I could care less. What a great trade. It proves the amazing power of options. I am so grateful for your service, which calls it straight all the time, your options trading manual, and most of all, your amazing skill
    at finding winning trades. I have attached a copy of the trade from
    my brokerage screen.

    Hi Rick,

    Wow!! my account it up 70% since i joined last month and market is going the opposite direction. Really appreciate your service. I just wanted to drop a note to say THANK YOU. Hope to be with you guys for a very long time. Mel

    You have made a believer out of me. Alan

    Rick –
    I have only been a member for about 6 weeks but I have done well on most of the trades. My first two were QQQ and SPY a month ago and since then I've gotten into the groove and been doing well.
    I try to execute the trades that you recommend as soon as you send them out, sometimes I can't and I miss the Entry price. However, sometimes when I miss the Entry, the price goes down and I get a better price.
    That's exactly what happened with GMCR.
    You recommended it at around $.81 I think, but by the time I got to it, the price was $.27. I bought 100 Puts on Wednesday May 2, 2012 and sold half of them 24 hours later at $5.95 for a nice 2,203% gain. As per your recommendation, as GMCR went above $30 I sold the remaining 50 Puts at $5.50 for a slightly less 2,037% gain.
    On average that one trade netted me a 2,120% gain, entirely based on YOUR recommendation (and a little bit of luck). To put this in real terms, I risked $2,700 on Wednesday and pocketed $54,550 just 24 hours later.
    So uhh, let's do that again real soon!!
    Feel free to use my name. The tax guys have me on speed-dial already anyway. Dennis

    Rick:
    That was awesome on your GMCR pick, I know how risky it can been holding into earnings but you pulled it off. 
    I just started my autotrading with you today and am in on your QQQ play. I look forward this service. 
    I have a busy career and I have tried to follow and trade throughout the day and found it too hard. I hope you continue to have a great year, I plan to go along for the ride. I am starting slow but will pile more in once I have secured some profits. 
    Keep up the good work your trading has been spot on. I am sure you paid your dues to get this point in your career. Anthony

    Rick:

    Great call on GMCR!  I have been trading for about 15 years actively.  This may be the best trade I ever made.  Got in on Monday, April 30 and the stock was up from when you recommended it.  It went up further after I got in.  Here are the facts:
    Monday, April 30th: Bought 15 June 37's at $1.25= $1900 approx
    Thursday, May 3rd: Sold 15 June 37's at $9.30=$13,950
    Gain for the week: $12,050.
    I understand you will not get them all right.  It’s important to ride those winners and as you could tell from my selling price, I sold when the stock went to $28.10, so left a little on the table.  Who can complain.
    Keep the suggestions coming, looking for another jump on your FSLR, one that I have been riding very hard.
    Best regards, Bob
