INDEX OPTION RECOMMENDATIONS

Last week we recommended the October 100 put option (DIAVV) to play the expected pullback. We are using the opening price on Monday (3.60) for portfolio calculations. Place a stop at half the cost of the option. Take half profits at DOW 9,500.

For investors it has continually been recommended that some puts are held to protect one’s portfolio (portfolio insurance) against sharp market sell-offs. New and/or additional positions can be bought on the expected rally into late August/early September. For those who have no put options to protect your portfolio we recommended the following options, especially on any rally: the DOW November 100 puts (diawv) or the November 98 puts (dawvt) and the QQQQ November 42 puts (qqqvp) or November 44 puts (qqqvr).

For those of you who do not buy puts to protect your portfolio, there is an ETF that is the inverse of the DOW. The symbol is DOG and goes up when the DOW goes down and down when the DOW goes up.

Stock Option Recommendations

New Recommendations

IDCC- Interdigital Inc- 23.01- appears to have based after dropping sharply and looks ready to move higher so calls are timely. Buy the November 22 Call- DAQKI- 2.25- for a move to 25 and then higher. Place a stop loss on the option when the stock closes below 21. Take half profits when the stock is at 25.

DUG- Inverse Oil & Gas ETF- 14.76 – goes up when oil & gas stocks go down and vice versa. We have played this one before with mixed results but we will try again. Appears to have formed a bottom so calls are timely. Buy the November 14 Call- DZGKN- 1.70- for a move back to 16 and then possibly higher. Place a stop loss on the option when the ETF closes below 13.50. Take half profits when the ETF is at 16.

INDEX OPTION RECOMMENDATIONS

We are now at the tail end of our intermediate cycle time frame of late August/early September (plus or minus a week) and our short term cycle September 14/15 (plus or minus a few days) in which we expect a market high. The high could have come in last week on Thursday September 17. Buying put options should now be low risk since bullishness is at an extreme and the market is overbought. We recommend the October 100 put (DIAVV). We will use the opening price on Monday for portfolio calculations. Place a stop at half the cost of the option.

INDEX OPTION RECOMMENDATIONS

We are now in our intermediate cycle time frame of late August/early September (plus or minus a week) in which we expect a market high. The high could have come in last week on September 11 or will come in this week. At the moment we only recommend put options on the DOW when it trades below last week’s Thursday’s low of 9,476. We recommend the October 97 put (DAVVS). If that does not happen this week then we will buy put options next week.

For investors it has continually been recommended that some puts are held to protect one’s portfolio (portfolio insurance) against sharp market sell-offs. New and/or additional positions can be bought on the expected rally into late August/early September. For those who have no put options to protect your portfolio we recommended the following options, especially on any rally: the DOW October 96 puts (davvr) or the October 98 puts (davvt) and the QQQQ October 42 puts (qavvp) or October 44 puts (qavvr).

For those of you who do not buy puts to protect your portfolio, there is an ETF that is the inverse of the DOW. The symbol is DOG and goes up when the DOW goes down and down when the DOW goes up.
