The stock has moved in the direction I thought it would so now we are faced with having to make the decision of either selling out of our long put position for a profit or selling front month puts in order to turn this position into a diagonal calendar spread. From the looks of the chart I’ve chosen […]

I often talk about fan lines as one of the best ways to measure the strength of a trend. However, as the angle of the trend continues to increase the probability of a price correction also increases. In this example, the angle of the 3rd perfectly with the 20-day moving average.

Oil prices have dropped dramatically as hopes fade that OPEC, the crude producers’ cartel, will agree to reduce output. As you can see from this 3-year, weekly candle chart, the price has pulled back $17 from the highs in June. Most of the selling has been triggered by fear that overproduction could cause a drop in industrial demand. For […]

We have had great results with the Hershey Chocolate strategy. This is a regular cycle we’ve exploited for a number of years but this year we are getting into it a little bit earlier. The main reason for us selling this credit put spread is because of the bullish engulfing pattern that showed up yesterday.

The iShares Gold Trust trades 1/10th the price of GLD making this a cheaper way to add to our gold position. The January 2016 10 calls are trading for around $1.80 making this a great position to hold on to as we look for spreads and credits that will help us pay down the cost of these leaps. […]

On October 9th we bought the April 16 Calls in RWM for $2. The price has dropped since but as you can see from the chart the volume is also dropping. This divergence is a very bullish signal which is why I’m suggesting that we add more calls to our position in order to average the cost down […]
