A plentitude of profits

by J. Christoph Amberger

It's nice when major stock indices set new historic highs. But really, it doesn't matter if a particular market is going up or down... because inside any broader market, there are plenty of opportunities to make profits for those who can read the signs.

Ian Cooper, editor and chief trading strategist of Extreme Volatility Speculator, has an uncanny knack for finding just these opportunities. Here's the latest one he played to the delight of his readers:

For five straight days, shares of Cummins Inc. (CMI) did nothing but rise. 

Fortunately for EVS readers, as soon as the W%R peaked and reversed course, and the stock blew through its upper Bollinger Band, it was time to go short with puts.

In the early trading hours of Tuesday, October 10, 2006, shares of CMI ran north of $137, a $3+ gain after five straight days of gains.  EVS editor Ian Cooper had a hunch that the turnaround was coming -- given his reading of the W%R and Bollinger Band indicators -- and quickly issued a buy on the $2 December 120 puts at 10:30 a.m. ET.

By 2 p.m. ET, shares of CMI gave back all of its gains, plus another $1.80 on the day, tacking on 90 cents to the $2 calls – a 45% gain in just hours. 

Readers like R.F. were more than thrilled, saying, “In at 2.15 – out at 2.90 (I exited before your sell alert – couldn’t resist 34% gains in two hours!!!)”  Or A.T., who says, “What a great pick [CMI puts]!!! Bought at $2.15, sold at $2.60…  Thank you!”

Shortly after exiting that recommendation in just hours, Ian found another stock rocketing on a bogus buyout rumor.  You can read more about it in EVS Alert #852. 

In addition to technical events such as this, the EVS team successfully trades on news and rumor events.  For more information, please click here now.

-- Ian wasn't alone in generating profitable recommendations. This week, the team at WaveStrength Options Weekly cranked out another big one:

Back in September, when every “smart” analyst was bad-mouthing retail, Adam Lass and Bryan Bottarelli recommended that their readers buy calls on mega-retailer Target (TGT: NYSE).

Just yesterday, those calls set another new high, for maximum gains of 121.28%. This is no fluke; rather, it is the third winner of this magnitude since they launched the service back in July.

In fact, every single option they have recommended has gone on to show gains. Right now, their average maximum gain is 50.28%, and their cumulative maximum gain is 502.88%.

-- Not to be outdone by her colleagues, Ann Sosnowski scored a direct hit with her Hot Sheet recommendation of Tasr this week. The official trade was as follows:

“On 9/1, Hot Sheet entered TASR at $7.83. On 10/9, WST exited the play at $9.42 for a gain of 20.31%.”

Now, Hot Sheet is still an information service that is undergoing last-phase testing. Which means that you cannot give us any money to become a member. But it is currently being beta-tested by intrepid volunteers from our loyal subscriber base. Two of them wrote in about their success with Hot Sheet’s TASR recommendation.

Note, if you would, that both of them bought options instead of the stock Ann recommended, and thus maximized their gains:

“I opted to wait until TASR broke above $8 at which point I bought the November 7.50 Call ay $.100 ... and CHA-CHING! ... closed it today at $1.95!”

- Mark R., Hot Sheet beta tester

“I just sold my positions in TASR. I bought Jan 10.50 calls for $0.20 and 0.30 and sold them for $0.40 -- 40% gain all with 20 days! I will take that anyday no matter what TASR does after. A 40% gain is in the bank and waiting for the next position!! Thanks!!”

- Larry W., Hot Sheet beta tester
