Trade Alert: Trimming some of our index puts into another panicky open

Stocks crushed again this morning. Here’s what I’m going to do. With the Nasdaq down another 2.5% this morning, I’m going to sell about 1/3 of my SPY and QQQ puts. And that’s it for now. Lots of great Q&A from our

Keep the hedges on, Verizon is the ultra-contra-stock, Chat tomorrow 9am ET

The markets didn’t trade like they knew it was a holiday-shortened trading week and that Santa is supposed to be riding to the rescue. I did a tiny bit of nibbling into the panicky sell-off action today but I’m far from being aggressive about buying — I still own

Trade Alert: Stocks crushed. Two nibbles and locking in profits on the AMD puts

Stocks are getting crushed with the Nasdaq down more than 3% on the day as I type this at 11:25am ET. I spent almost an hour on the phone with a very insightful source who runs sales at one of our smaller cap Revolution Investments. Then I hung up

Most stocks still aren’t cheap yet, Pot stocks are still bubbled, We’ll be opportunistic

Trade Alert: One more tiny AAPL options tranche

If there’s another whoosh down today, I’ll likely do a little trimming of my index put hedges and I might do a little more buying. For now, I’m going to do a one more small trade this morning. I’m buying another TINY tranche of AAPL call

Trade Alert: Apple options trade

I’m going to be opportunistic again here this morning and nibble some AAPL call options dated out into February with strike prices around $200. The stock is down a bunch since we trimmed some near its all-time highs a few weeks ago and is probably a bit oversold. I’

Trade Alert: Adding to two positions (and I’m no longer bearish on GE, just FYI)

Well, I’d mentioned that I didn’t think the selling was all over yet, and sure enough, it’s gotten to be ugly again. There’s some outright panicky action going on in a lot of names out there and I think there’s probably some good nibbling opportunities

What happens if the Democrats win (or if the Republicans win), Call option recommendations and more

Here’s the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat. The most telling thing from the chat was that people are wanting to buy call options and otherwise lacking fear. Be careful out there is my advice, as you’ll see often below. Q. Any thoughts or
