“Although this week is historically bearish, we could see some “window-dressing” by the fund managers which means they will be buying stocks early in the week. We still feel the market is close to peaking but we wouldn’t be surprised to see one last run at our near-term targets (Dow 13,500; S&P 1,425-1,450; Nasdaq 3,250; Russell 850) if there is a rush to buy this week.
We could also see a trading range this week before we get the surge in April which is typically one of the best months of the year for the market. Over the past decade, the indexes have gained 2%, on average, in April and if support holds this week, there is a good chance history repeats itself. However, we aren’t too bullish on 1Q earnings which will start to come in during the second week of April” (3/25/2012 Weekly Wrap/ Monday Morning Outlook)
The bulls held support and continued with their winning ways last week following the “Bernanke Bounce” on Monday. The major indexes rallied 1.5%, on average, after hearing the Fed Chairman say supportive monetary policies would remain in place and that another round of quantitative easing could be a possible. Ben Bernanke said the U.S. economy would need to grow more rapidly to produce enough jobs to further bring down the unemployment rate (which comes out this Friday). This spurred a huge relief rally following the prior week’s slight pullback as the market reached fresh 52-week highs.
The bulls came close to our aforementioned near-term targets as the momentum continued into Tuesday’s open. However, the momentum faded late in the day as a late session sell program hit Wall Street. The Dow was able to finish in positive territory but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq couldn’t escape the bears attack as both indexes ended the day with slight losses.
Wednesday’s futures were showing a continued pullback as the bears looked poised to crack another layer of support following weaker-than-expected economic news from overseas. They did at the open as the market fell over 1% when trading got underway. The Dow fell to a low of 13,069 while the S&P dipped under the 1,400 level before both indexes bounced back by the closing bell.
Thursday’s action was more of the same in the morning as lighter-than-expected economic news muddied the waters. Initial Claims fell 5,000 to 359,000 versus expectations for a drop to 350,000 but the previous week’s numbers were “revised” which accounted for the slight miss. Meanwhile, fourth-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased 3.0%, which matched forecasts while Personal Consumption increased 2.1%, also in-line. Wall Street must have realized this after their lunch break as the indexes rebounded sharply in the second half of trading and into the close. The Dow was able to squeak out a small gain while the Nasdaq and S&P suffered only minor losses. This led us to believe that Friday was going to be a good day as the market was on the verge of booking one of the best quarters we have seen in quite some time…

Tomorrow is St. Patty’s Day and the bulls are trying to add some more green to this week’s gains. We have a lot to cover so let’s go over the numbers real quick.
The Dow is up 2 points to 13,255 while the S&P is higher by 2 points to 1,404. The Nasdaq is also up 2 points to 3,059. Maybe we should play 222 as a “pick 3” today as hot as we have been.
Here is a quick update for our portfolios.
This week has been one of our best week’s ever for the Daily publication. We are currently nursing open trades of 428%, 308%, and 118% to go along with the 35 winning trades we have closed for 2012.
We have been able to turn a $10,000 trading account into over $40,000 which is a return of over 300%. We seriously doubt any other option newsletter can match our results so far this year.
Not only have we had an incredible week for our Daily newsletter, our Weekly Wrap quietly continues to perform beyond our wildest expectations. We are on track to close up to 7 double-digit winners by the closing bell as the March options expire today. Take a look at the profits that could be coming our way if shares hold above the current strike price on the options we have sold.
magicJack VocalTec (CALL, $25.19, up $1.00) +19%
Bank of America (BAC, $9.58, up $0.34) +20%
Vivus (VVUS, $20.34, up $0.20) +38%
Alcoa (AA, $10.56, up $0.21) +17%
Symantec (SYMC, $18.11, down $0.09) +16%
Solazyme (SZYM, $15.66, down $0.19) +55%
MGM Resorts (MGM, $14.44, down $0.27) +13%
This will bring our 2012 Closed Trades for the Weekly Wrap to 19-0. If we include last year’s 16-0 mark, we could be 35-0 since started the newsletter a little over a year ago. Remember, our goal is to bring you solid double-digit profits every month with this publication no matter what the market is doing. If you can hit 5 winning trades for 20% or more you will double your money. The aforementioned covered call winners would have done just that for you.
We will give you our full track record this weekend as we are squaring-up a number of positions today. We did take a few hits on a few aggressive earnings trades but overall we should be 55-10 thru the first 3 months of 2012. Please note, and this is super important, we do not count half or quarter winning trades 2, 3, and 4 times. There are many option services that do this. If we did, our track record would be 85-10.
Other newsletters will also double down and tell you to buy more of a position if it is down and then they will average their cost down. However, if the trade is a loser, they will only count it once.
The bottom line is that most investment newsletters don’t have a track record because they give you so many trades hoping to hit on a few and they don’t trade their own account. They brag about the winners but won’t mention the losers.
We have auto-trading partners which verify our results and you can always request our current 2012 Track record by sending us an email if you are not a current subscriber.
Our reputation is built on trust and all of our trades are done in real time and are time dated. Our auto-trading partners get great fill prices on all of our trades for your account and your order is placed the instant our Trade Alerts go out. If you are a busy professional and can’t watch the market all day long, let our brokers do the work for you.
The reason we are telling you all of this is because we have been tired of listening to the Wall Street “pros” and talking heads that have gotten this market wrong and when it does crash they will tell you they were right. However, if and when there is a selloff, don’t get nervous. Remember, we can make just as much money to the downside as we can the upside. Just take a look at our 2008 portfolio, especially some of the returns on the Financial stock option trades.
We have a busy weekend ahead of us but the good news is our portfolio is light for both our Daily and Weekly Wrap which means we are ready to start our next batch of 50 trades. We will let the charts tell us which way the market is headed instead of trying to guess and wait for a pullback. The trend has been higher since the August lows and we have outlined clear support levels to watch for if there is a trend change. Until then, the trend is our friend.
We will be back Sunday night with the Weekly Wrap and we have updated our current trades one last time. Until then, have a great weekend everyone!
(Remember, we just ran a special for our Weekly Wrap so if you would like a 3-month trial at a 50% discount, please send us an email.)

The bulls charged higher this morning as the market extended its rally following yesterday’s good news on the banks.
We have been super busy today and we have even more profits to take. Another one of our trades is up 100% which makes 3 triple-digits winners in one-day and we have profits to take on a bullish Pepsico (PEP, $64.30, down $0.04) trade that is up over 60%.
We told you to get another wheelbarrow out in February and we may need another one as the profits continue to pour in for our subscribers.
As we head to press, the Dow is up 16 points to 13,193 while the S&P 500 is off by 2 points to 1,394. The Nasdaq is lower by a point to 3,038.
Subscribers, check the Members Area for the important updates and make sure you read the trade instructions carefully. It has been an incredible day and we will go over all of the details in the morning!

The bulls are trying to hold on to their slim gains for the week and if things were to end now, the market would finish mixed for the week. Futures were weak for much of last night and into this morning which led to a slightly lower open. Economic news has been quiet today and with earnings winding down, Wall Street appears ready to get the week over with.
We are holding out some hope the Dow can clear 13,000 by the close, although it’s just a number, while the Nasdaq can make one last push past 3,000. This will require a late day pop, of course, and we went over the numbers this morning on where the bears need to be to win the week.
In IPO news (Initial Public Offering), Yelp (YELP, $24.40, up $9.40) made its debut this morning on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and is up over 60%. Shares were priced at $12-$14 but were bumped to $15 on strong demand. Yelp expects to make $100 million or so after offering over 7 million shares to the public. The 8-year old company has yet to make a profit so we would steer clear of this one as an “investment” but we are looking forward to trading the options when they do list in a few weeks.
We have gotten some nice pin action this week on a few more of our current call option trades as we continue to ride the market’s wave higher. As we mentioned earlier this week, there were a few more well-know Wall Street pros who said the market is due for a pullback and suggesting shorting it. Of course, they have joined the legions of other money managers who have called for a pullback since January and at some point they will be right. Many of them have missed the rally over the past few months and are itching to get in. While they waited for a pullback, we have opened over 50 trades and the last of them will be winding down over the next few weeks.
The powerful gains we have made has given us a nice start to the year which could end up being very, very profitable for our subscribers. Please make sure you take the time this weekend to look at our 2012 Closed Trade portfolio which is 29-3 to start the year and is up over 200% on a $10,000 account, or $20,000 in profits.
We normally don’t trade this many positions but the trend from December has been so powerful that we had no choice. As far as where the market could be headed in March, we think there will be a continued rally and we will talk more about why this weekend in our Weekly Wrap but we are also cautious.
For now, let’s enjoy the rest of the trading day and see how the week closes. We have locked-in some incredible profits this week which is allowing us to keep some of our other trades open through the weekend.
As far as the market, the Dow is down 31 points to 12,949 while the S&P 500 is showing a decline of 5 points to 1,369. The Nasdaq is lower by 11 points to 2,977.
We will be back Sunday night with our Weekly Wrap and make sure you sign-up for this exciting publication if you haven’t done so already which is 26-0 since inception, 12-0 this year.
This gives us an overall record of 41-3 to start 2012 and we don’t count “half” and “quarter” positions 2 or 3 times like some other option services do. We also don’t tell you do “double-up” on a losing position to average a trade down then record it as one losing trade.
These are some of the tricks our competitors use for those who do have a “track record”. How do we know? Our subscribers tell us.
We offer auto-trading services for the busy professionals and real-time updates twice a day on all of our option recommendations. We also issue Trade Alerts as needed throughout the day so that you will always know when to take profits.
Subscribers, please check the Members Area for the last minute updates and until next time, have a great weekend everyone!

It’s time to ring the register once again. We have been patient with our Carrizo Oil & Gas (CRZO, $29.58, up $1.41) call options which we recommended back in January at $1.20. Today they have popped to $1.70. The trade was down over 50% at one point but we said the chart was super bullish and we said Monday morning the stock was on the ”verge of breaking out of a bullish symmetrical continuation triangle”. Bottom line the trade is now up 42% as we trusted the chart.
Subscribers, please check the Members Area for the updates and be sure to lock-in profits.

Bulls Still Showing Strength
