S&P 500 Tags New Highs

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

12:50pm (EST)

There has been no ticket-tape parade or rolling out of the red carpet on Wall Street today despite the S&P 500 tagging fresh 52-week peaks.  There is still a little work to do before the intraday all-time day high is triggered and a second half of trading to go before we can say the S&P closed at an all-time high but the action is bullish heading into April as we wind down March and the first quarter.

There are a ton of stories to talk about, including a new IPO, but we want to focus on our Weekly Wrap for just a minute.  It isn’t often we “pound the table” on a stock but every year we seem to find a diamond in the rough or an undiscovered company that has the potential to make you double or triple your money.

A few years ago we called Dendreon’s (DNDN, $4.79, up $0.03) move from $5 to $50 and we told you to get out once shares broke back below $40.  We also recommended Imax ($27.11, up $0.39) at $3 just before 3D become big as shares zoomed past $30.  Last year it was Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA, $8.18, down $0.13), a stock we profiled at $2 that ended up zooming to $13 last summer.  We have used these “special situations” to recommend call options for our Daily that have returned our subscribers numerous high triple-digit returns of 100%, 200%, 300%, and even 400% or more.

Now, for 2013, we have another stock that is just above $4 that we feel will be trading at $8 by the end of the year and double-digits next year.  We recommended the stock at $4.50 last February and since then shares have traded to a high of $4.90 and to a low of $2.18 since.

We said support should hold and as the company started to build-out its expansion plans, shares should return to our purchase price as momentum picks up for their store openings.  Shares dipped to a low of $3.03 at the beginning of the month and we told our subscribers who weren’t in the position to start adding shares.  We also said once shares broke $3.80 it could be off to the races.  Shares closed at $3.80 on Monday, $4.02 on Tuesday and $4.22 yesterday.  Today, shares have traded up to $4.40 after the company announced a deal to open up to 10 new locations in Florida this week.  They have plans to open up to 75 company-owned restaurants over the next couple of years and their niche of food is some of the best in the industry.

This is a micro-cap stock with a market cap of just $35 million so the potential for shares to double based on its growth path is there.  However, we have said shares can move into the double-digits over the next 12-18 months and now is the time to get on board.

As we have seen, this is becoming a stock picker’s market and if we could only choose one stock to invest in, this would be it.  We believe this is one stock you can own throughout 2013 that will provide stable returns in what could be a volatile upcoming Spring and second quarter – and rest of the year.

From time-to-time we will discount the Weekly Wrap that has an amazing 2+year track record of 53-3.  The newsletter aims for monthly double-digit returns and we have up to 4 more positions in April that will providing us with some sweet profits.  For this undiscovered company, we are expecting a 100+% return like the one we got with Arena last year.  This stock does not trade options but could at some point so in the meantime it will be a buy-and-hold situation.

We would like to offer you the chance to get in at the ground level so that you can get into this stock today or next week.  If you want to sign-up today, we are offering over a 50% discount to our Weekly Wrap on a 3-month membership for only $129.  This is less than $45 a month for a quality stock and option newsletter that has a history of finding explosive growth stocks.  Our weekly market commentary comes with charts for all of the indexes and our current recommendations.

We are confident you will easily enjoy the newsletter and we have a lot of new things in store for the publication, including possible straddle and strangle options trades, as well as LEAP buying and shorting.  We are also looking at trading the “mini” options for this publication as well.

As far as the market, the S&P 500 has reached new 52-week highs and is currently at 1,565, up 2 points, while the Dow is up 25 points to 14,551.  The Nasdaq is higher by a point to 3,257.

We have a lot more to cover in our Members Area and we will be back Sunday night with the Weekly Wrap and Monday morning with the Daily as the market will be closed for Good Friday.  There is a chance we send out a late day Profit Alert but if we don’t, have a great 3-day weekend everyone!

Family Dollar Stores Drops 13%, Options Zoom 665%/ iPad Winner!

Friday, January 4th, 2013

1:50pm (EST)

We apologize for the slight delay today but we wanted to make sure we talked to our iPad contest winner before we went to press.  The winning pick came within 16 points of hitting the nail on the head.

The Dollar Stores sector was a big winner in 2012 but we started to see some weakness in the 4Q12 on a few names.  Yesterday, it was Family Dollar’s (FRO, $56.82, up $1.08) turn to confess to Wall Street and shares tanked 13% after the company missed expectations and lowered its outlook for the year.  We mentioned 4Q earnings start next week – with Alcoa (AA, $9.19, up $0.12) leading the charge – but the company is on an “off” cycle as FDO reported its 1Q earnings yesterday.

The Family Dollar January 60 puts (FDO130119P00060000, $3.50, down $1.10) are down today but were up a whopping 665% after opening at $3.50 on Thursday.  They were at 60 cents before Wednesday’s close and traded to a high of $5.10 yesterday and when we would have cashed out.  Shares are rebounding today but a quick look at the chart shows $50 could come into play on a close below double-nickels ($55).

We missed the easy money on this earnings trade and this weekend we will be showing you how to find earnings trades like this for the upcoming season that starts this Tuesday.  We will also show you some chart work on a few trades on our Watch List and why we think Solazyme (SZYM, $8.49, up $0.12) might be a good option play at current levels.  We will also cover a recent IPO that now trades options and how to play a longer-term surge or a breakdown over the next 6-12 months.  We will also try to cover a few Biotech names that we are watching for 2013. 

We awanted to close today’s newsletter with the good news on who won the brand-new iPad we are giving away.  As you know, we ran a contest back in early December for those who signed up early for the 1-year promotion we recently we did.  The rules were simple and asked where you thought the Dow would be after the close on the last trading day for 2012. 

At the time of the contest, the blue-chips were at 13,155.13 and finished the year at 13,104.14.  There were a lot of close guesses but Gary, from Oklahoma, was our winning subscriber as he made an educated guess of 13,120.00.  Amazing. 

What a fun day.  We were so happy to call Gary to inform him of the news and we may have another contest down the road so stay tuned.

As far as they market, the bulls are defying gravity as they continue to make a push higher.  If we had a nickel for how many times the talking heads have called for a pullback today we would have $5.55 by now.

Look, there could be a pullback, but our portfolio is light and we will be ready for a pullback if and when it comes.  The Fiscal Cliff debacle is over with and while there is a Debt Ceiling debate coming, it seems the market is enjoying the break it is getting with Air Force One back in Hawaii.  The zombies are away for another week or two and we are looking for a few more positive days before the volatility returns.

As we head to press, the Dow is up a double-deuce to 13,412 while the S&P is higher by 5 points to 1,463.  The Nasdaq is up a point to 3,101.  We would like to see the bulls hold current levels and some more fluff would be nice before the close.

We have some last minute updates on our current trades before we roll and we will be back Sunday night with the Weekly Wrap.  If you haven’t signed up for this publication, we urge you to do so now.  We have a stock we are covering that is at $3.66 and has finally broken out of a trading range.  We believe shares are headed to $6-$7 this year. 

A few years ago we started touting Imax (IMAX, $22.68, down $0.12) at $3 before it zoomed to $30 and our current recommendation could experience the same price move over the next few years.  Remember, you can get a one-year membership to the Weekly Wrap if you buy the Daily for one-year.  You also get our option trading course, How to trade options on Momentum Stocks, at no cost.  You can find the coupon by scrolling back a few days and reading our past posts but we are no longer advertising this deal.  However, if you can’t find it or would like the code, email us.

That is all we have for today.  Subscribers, check the Members Area for the updates and have a fantastic weekend everyone!  

Market Pulls Back on Zombie Comments

Thursday, December 13th, 2012

12:10pm (EST)

The bulls are trying to bounce back following yesterday’s subpar performance but we have expected a slight pause after the push past resistance at the beginning of the week.  There appears there will be another test to the second wave of resistance like the one we had on Tuesday but the bears seem to have halted the momentum despite better-than-expected economic news this morning.

Initial Claims fell 29,000 to 343,000 versus expectations for a print of 369,000.  The 4-week moving average came in at 381,000.  Continuing Claims were 3.19 million versus a forecast for 3.21 million.  Elsewhere, Retail Sales rebounded 0.3% in November while the PPI (Producer Price Index) fell 0.8%.

In IPO news, SolarCity (SCTY, $10.37, up $2.37) made its public debut this morning on the Nasdaq after offering 11.5 million shares at $8.  The stock opened at $9 and has traded to a high of $10.59.  The offering was originally for 10 million shares at a price range of $13-$15.

We mentioned Congress is set to adjourn for their holiday vacations tomorrow but an alert has been sent to the zombies they may have work overtime next week to try and get a deal done to avoid the Fiscal Cliff.  Head red zombie held a press conference to address the lack of spending cuts from the blue zombies and the market hit fresh lows.  Unless something gets done over the next 24 hours, Washington will have wasted another week of back-and-forth bickering instead of everyone meeting at the table.

It would be nice to see them fire up the coffee pot and spend an all-nighter in the chambers of the White House but they would require an extra-long work day and the zombies aren’t built for that.

Despite the deal or no deal debate, the indexes are holding support to a “T” as we head into the second half of trading.  The Dow is down 30 points to 13,215 while the S&P 500 is off 3 points to 1,425.  The Nasdaq is lower by 7 points to 3,007.

We have a lot to cover with our current trades so let’s get on it.  Subscribers, check the Members Area for the updates and we will be back in the morning with a full report. 

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.

As we head to press, the Dow is up 31 points to 13,105 while the S&P 500 is lower by 2 points to 1,412.  The Nasdaq is off 17 points to 2,972.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone and we will be beack Monday Morning!

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.

    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

    I bought 10 Deckers Outdoor (DECK) May 55 puts at $0.50 on 4/26/12 and sold them on 4/27/12 for $1.65. I made $1150 in one day. Thanks. I knew something good would happen sooner or later.
    HOW THE HECK did you know Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) was going to go down 20 points???!!!! I bought 10 of the May 35 puts at $0.49 and then 5 more at .30. I sold them at 5.80. Thank you again.
    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
