if interested, here are 2 more "bonus" plays but would use a trigger price and enter only if it triggers before 11:30am (remember, if these are moving upward, let it pass trigger point and do not open a position until it starts to level off as I have talked about in the past)

86% accurate; 7 system wins @ +2.5% each = +17.50% / 1 system loss @ -3% ; 1st week net +14.50% 

 7 winning plays had a total of their 1 day gains = +56.05% ; each play had an average days high gain of +8%

July 9:

** I like these picks in the following order (all system plays)...

  • (MMC)     ~ buy long @ open
    •  
      •   A Winner! entered at 9:35 - 10:00, the days high gains hit +2.75% - 3.37% Money mouth
    • (VVUS)   ~ enter long at/below 7.78 and must trigger before 11:30
      •  
        •   this trade did not trigger
      • (SPTN)    ~ buy long @ open
        •  
          •   this play is carried over into Thursdays session; opened @ 26.03 but quickly fell to 25.55 @ 9:33am
        • (DMND) ~ enter long at/below 25.00; trigger before 11:30
          •  
            •   this play also carried over with an entry point of 24.90 or less (if opened immediately after bell) - if waited, as I stress, until a "level" off/turn around, then you may have got in @ 24.28 (apprx. 10am)
              • stopped out at a 3% loss on July 10th

           

          I was hesitate to post 4 Bull recommendations, esp when on June 25th I predicted Dow 10,500 before any significant turn around, but these plays held on even though todays trading session gave back over 2% to the Bears

          ________________________________________________

          Going into July 10th, this month, I have recommended 8 Winners, 1 Loser and 2 trades carried into Thursday - thats a +87.50% accuracy rating!

          The newly launched optiondaytrades.com site has been posting the same great results day after day!

          July 10:

          • (AZZ)   ~ buy long @ open
            •

          • (SSG~ buy long at/below 76.00 and must be executed before 11:30am or disregard trade; with this ETF, bump sell stop to 4%

            •  
              • A Winner! if you entered near the trigger of 6.78 as it jumped to 6.77 before dropping down to 6.40 giving this shorted play a days high of +5.79% Money mouth

           

          Trade Alert! Stock to Watch - (MASI) - Bullish (emailed alert to all members/newsletter subscribers @ 1:30am 7/10/2008)

          •  
            •  
              • A Winner! this middle of the night find that was alerted to all members opened at the days low of 35.99 and never looked back as it ran to 37.70 giving this trade a days high gain of +4.76% Money mouth


          A Perfect Day! 5 out of 5 Winners!
          (DMND) was one that carried over into today, July 10th and it stopped out at the 3% loss limit
          (SPTN) was the other trade to carry over and still has not hit either of the limits set. It is sitting about even from the original recommendation two sessions ago; if it doesn't start to pop on Monday, I recommend closing this position to free up funds to open other trade.
          After the bell on July 10th, the results from all of this months plays...
          13 Winners & 2 Losers
          w/ 1 carried over

                • SPTN had posted to sell to free up funds as it carried over several days, A Winner as when I recommended to sell, we were up over 1%
          • (CRI)  - short at open; do homework on this first, not crazy about this but its the best looking short play that I could find for Monday
            •  
              • A Winner! todays high +3.48% Money mouth
          • (ARST) - at/below 9.50 and enter long before 11:30
            •

          • (FCFS)  - long @ open
            •

            •  
              • A Winner! hit a days high of +3.84%

            •  
              • even though (following my guidelines, this kept dropping from open) most would have stayed away or entered much lower than the open; I will call this a loss at the 3% sell stop that would have initiated from this stocks opening cost

          __________________________________________________________________
          JULY 16th:

          On the 16th, I posted that I was working on a HUGE play for the 17th, well I am a day late but I still think there is room to run. I also am going to post a option pick for (WFC) ~ yep, it was up over 32% on the day and Buffet's baby has recently added to Berkshires position. I would look at (WFC) today along with +WFCJY for the longer term, an Oct 27.50 Call with a last price @ 2.70 but I'm sure that will jump from the get go!
          • A Winner! the days high here hit +6.53% Money mouth

          (KO) ~ is a nice looking long buy @ open for our system

          _____________________________________________________________

           

          July 18: (Friday 5 ~ lets hope for a bullish Fri 4 once)

          • (BBBB)~ buy long @ open; looks like it may open 6% lower around 39.00
            •  
              • A Winner! days high of +3%
          • (ROST)~ long @ open
            •  
              • apprx 39.20 entry, carried over
          • (BKE)   ~ long @ open
            •  
              • a loss here, initiated a 3% sell stop if you even bought in as it fell hard from the bell and hit the days low before 10am
          • (TJX)   ~ long @ open; bump up sell stop here to 4%
            •  
              • this also did not hit a limit either way, carried over
          • (NTRS)~ buy long below 76.00 and if it triggers before 10am
            •  
              • if you entered here, it dropped to a low of 75.96 (.04 below my trigger!) but after 10am... it then gained over +3% today
          • I will be posting another "Jackpot" option play over at the option site this evening
            • here is a copy & paste from the option site, as I stated, a huge play! I also just put up a very good looking set-up for Monday @ the open (not yet a member there? go and take advantage of the free trial for a week)
          +APVTM (AAPL) ~ Aug 165 Put; 6.80/6.95 - will all of those HUGE profits after you close the GOOG position, open some AAPL puts and hold these through earnings on Monday and plan to close the position sometime Tuesday; be on a private beach by Wed!
          •  
            • at todays close, this play is up over 47% after day 1 of this recommendation; I think it'll jump even more before this Tuesdays close (be careful-whenever you gamble w/ earnings reports, it is dangerous.) I would not worry though, even if it rises slightly because I have had AAPL as bearish lately anyway (in fact, I have recommended AAPL put options just a few weeks ago that we profitted over 40% before the close of the second trading day!)

              _____________________________________________________________
              July 21st:
              • (IMAX) ~ buy long @ open or in the ext. am session if you can enter during a dip. Two words= Dark Knight (aka Batman)
                •  
                  • if purchased in ext am, a Winner; at the opening bell (exactly 9:30-9:32) the 3% sell stop was then initiated; at 9:41, dropped to the days low of 7.70, a Winner. Depending on your entry, because of the movement, outcomes here were varied.
              • (CRRC) ~ sell short; looks to open higher as its up +3.32% in after hours @ 17.19 - look to open your position with an entry at least above the 17.00 mark and bump up the sell stop to 4%
                •  
                  • A Winner! if you shorted this trade, we hit our mark as it hit a days high of +6.74%
              • another great stock option recommendation for Monday so go and take advantage of the free week trial!

              ______________________________________________________________
              Option Plays to close on July 22nd:

              • +APVTH (AAPL) ~ Aug 140 Puts; alerted @ 1.45 & dropped below 1.40 before close - after the close, after earning come out, Apple is taking a Huge Hit! Sell Tuesday after the open.
                •  
                  • Winner! Alerted yesterday @ $1.45  (3:40pm) and posted as a sell after todays (Tues July 22) open; hit a high gain of +220% this morning. Nice gain for a 24 hour hold Money mouth
              • +APVTM   (AAPL) ~ Aug 165 Put; was posted as a buy on Friday and stated to hold until Tuesday, well this looks a HUGE WINNER! we hit the Jackpot again! Second time in as many days! (after the ext hrs session, looks like this will be up around +250% or just after tomorrows open; and should go up as the day rolls on!) close your position once there is a turn-around and if AAPL starts getting bought up.
                •  
                  • Winner! Posted @ 6.80 as a buy last Friday and stated to hold until today, Tuesday. It paid off as it soared to 20.45 giving these puts a high days gain of +201%  this play took a whole 2 days to hit over 200% Wink
              • +GOPTJ   (GOOG) ~ Aug 450 Put; was eMailed out to all members and newsletter subscribers on Thurs July 17th at 10am when the options were @ 4.50; at todays (July 21st) close the gains here were +132% and dont see it slowing down tomorrow morning either as the stock dropped another 10pts+/- after hours and will fall more w/ the poor tech earnings coming out! Same thing applies here, sell position when they start to loss value.
                •  
                  • Winner! This was recommended a buy via an eMailed Trade Alert @ 10am on July 17th @ 4.50/4.60 . This morning (July 22) these puts came close to a days high game of  +150%

              __________________________________________

              July 22nd:

              • (GAP) ~ sell short @ open and use in system; this is the only true system play I have for Tuesday, lets collect on the AAPL & GOOG puts!
                •  
                  • Winner! This shorted, system play hit our goal, passing the 2.5 mark with a days high gain touching +4.17 from the opening bell!
                    • over at the options site, I posted GAP puts that are up over +100% today
              • (GOLD) ~ buy long; I am listing this bullish gold stock (best of bunch) because as it looks, when market drops, gold rises
                •  
                  • as the DOW rose, there should not have been an entry here today
              • (VSEC) ~ I am listing this long-term bullish stock as a bonus play; I read an interesting article this afternoon that had 3 stocks to double before the years end but the other two didn't pan out using my 10 point test that I run all stocks through before I recommend. This is a system that I have developed and refined over the years and use to find the Platinum Picks given here!
                •  
                  • Winner! a winner if you entered this long-term bull into the system. If you held and going for a longer term trade as recommended, you should be up over +6.50% today @ the close!

               

              What a Perfect, Platinum Picked day!

              ____________________________________________________

              July 23rd:

              • (GKK) ~ the best looking short to apply the system with @ the open
                •  
                  • the 3% sell stop (loss) was initiated
              • (SNHY) ~ buy long @ open; looks to open down
                •  
                  • if you followed recommendaton, stock hit near the low today @ 9:45 $39.50ish; would carry over
              • (BMR) ~ buy long @ open; system
                •  
                  • Winner! hit a high close to 4% today
              • (HOMB) ~ buy long @ open; system (remember, that most of my plays will shoot the opposite way during the first 15 minutes after the open so be patient, then enter)
                •  
                  • Winner! like I said, this immediately dropped from the start and if you entered at 9:45 $25.00, it then fell slightly more until 10am when it ran our way giving us a gain well over 3% from that $25 entry

              In a bullish transportation sector and with earning being released, these are two trucking co. that are worth looking at:

              1. (MRTN) - this stock that I mentioned to watch for a trade today returned investors over 9% today
              2.      (R) - this stock to watch just dropped steadily all day so with this trade, we just watched...and watched...

              After a huge day both here and at the options site, here is an option pick for the 23rd:

              • +AMDTA (AMD) ~ Aug  5  Put; closed @ .67 with a tight bid/ask of .66/.68
                •  
                  • should have entered here at a bargin price reflecting the immediate pop at the open making these puts fall to .47 - .58 from the get-go! I still like these puts, esp. at that entry

              The mid-day Trade Alert today was (JASO) around 15.75 long; this solar equity closed just below that level and I would look for at least a +3% gain here w/o a sell stop (as we never use on this one play) - if you feel more comfortable using a sell stop, use 5% (but if your that scared, buy a dog) Tongue out A Big Winner! this was a Mid-Day Trade Alert eMailed out yesterday, July 22nd- with a high today from the alert over a +5% gain and if entered within an hour after the alert, a gain close to 7% - the 3%+ I said to look for was not a problem!

              • (VSEC) ~ our "long term hold" trade is up +8.22% after the second day of trading for this bull play

              _________________________________________

              July 24:

              • (RBPAA) ~ sell short @ open; a system play
                •  
                  • Winner! this system short had a days high of +13.08%
              • (ENWV) ~ up 4% after hours, sell short and hold until Friday; this is a riskier play on an earnings hunch
                •  
                  • I should stay away from "hunches" after this hit our 3% stop loss
              • (NSC) ~ ride the rails; after todays earnings were announced, they pushed this equity 6.50% higher and it'll go higher
                •  
                  • Winner! this rail hit +3.19% today
              • (SKX) ~ down 14% after hours due to a .03 miss in the earnings report; all signals are still very bullish so wait until signs of a turn around, then buy long this newly discounted stock
                •  
                  • Winner! hit a days high gain of +3.71%
              • (AMN) ~ alot of movement with a large swing regarding this stock; no or a wider sell stop and shoot long to pull the 2.50% target
                •  
                  • slide the first half of session, if you went long here, the 3% loss was initiated
              • +PRQVL (COST) Oct 60 Put; if you can enter below 2.10
              • There will be a Call Option Play @  OptionDaytrades.com 
                •  
                  • the $2 entry was available off the bat and close 55% higher after day 1 and 80% higher at the end of day 2
