| Market Summary (continued) Futures were lower Friday even before the jobs report, and when a solid enough report was released, futures . . . fell farther with DJ30 tickling -100 and NASDAQ -60+ points. Or perhaps it was Elon Musk slurping whiskey, smoking weed, and playing with a samurai sword on a Joe Rogan podcast that kept investor moods lower Friday. Thursday night Musk enjoyed himself and got visibly stoned, no doubt to the delight of the true believers. Apparently, however, the true believers don't own the stock because TSLA was bombed, down 28+ points at the low. Earlier in the week and then pre-market I speculated that we might actually make some money on the TSLA downside play even after the 'going private' tweet appeared to put the kibosh on the play. The beauty of that was it took so much value out of the put options we just left it on. A long strange trip it has been, from 'funding secured' to 'funding not secured' to whiskey swilling and pot smoking absurdity. We sold our options at a stock price near 255 this morning, just a few points off the low and a 60% gain. Thanks Elon! Stocks opened lower but immediately managed a rebound into midday. Not bad. Then it all fell apart with a selloff into early afternoon. Not major losses at all, and very much in keeping with the pullback by the techs off the recent runs higher. Indeed, we were somewhat relieved the market did not try to rally given it was Friday and we did not really want to open a lot of new positions heading into the weekend.

Even with the financial stations talking about a down market, we banked some great gain yet again. ODFL (Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.) Company Profile Picked up this truck stock on 8/29 as it broke higher from a cup with stock at $153.42 and October $155.00 call options for $5. After a quick test, ODFL got it in gear and rallied to our target. Friday ODFL started higher after a big move and we sold some stock for $168.20 (9.6%) and some options for $14.70, a 190+% gain. UIS (Unisys Corporation) Company Profile Software is hot and we picked up UIS for another play on 8/20 at $16.44 and some January $16.00 strike calls for $2.00. UIS gapped upside the next session and continued higher into last Tuesday, hitting our target. We sold some stock for $19.20 (16+%) and half the options for $3.95, a 97% gain. AMZN (Amazon.com, Inc.) Company Profile Picked up this position on 8/23 with some November $1905.00 strike calls for $112.40. Worked slowly higher up the 10 day EMA then kicked it into gear 8/29. Rallied into Tuesday and saw it start to fade off the high. After this kind of move we sold the rest of our options for $195.00, banking over 70%. SFIX (Stitch Fix, Inc.) Company Profile We bought into SFIX on 8/9 with stock at $31.17 and some September $30.00 strike calls for $3.60. Hit the initial target 8/22 and we banked some gain. Let the remaining half work and SFIX surged into Wednesday and then started to back off. We sold another half for $41.51 (33%) and options for $11.10 (208%). TSLA (Tesla, Inc.) Company Profile Picked this one up 7/30 with some September put options for $26.90. It worked, for two sessions. Then the 'funding secured' tweet and the stock gapped higher. That was good because it lost so much value we thought we would hang on and see if this tweet was BS. It was, but it finally took a whiskey swilling, pot smoking, samurai sword wielding podcast Thursday to break it. Friday TSLA gapped lower, hit the target and more, and we sold our puts for $43.00, a 59% gain. Then TSLA released a statement saying it was having its greatest quarter ever. Serendipity.

| 2) STOCK SPLIT REPORT Playing stock splits can be very profitable, but it takes know-how. Our stock split service focuses on three main types of plays: 1) pre-announcement (where we forecast an upcoming split prior to the company making the announcement); 2) pre-split (these plays are made in the days leading up to the actual split day); and 3) post-split plays (plays made after the actual stock split where the stock is showing continued or renewed strength). Listen to Stock Split Report Editor Jon Johnson's stock split interview on CNBC-TV [ View Here ] Here's a post-split play and our current analysis.
Company Profile EARNINGS: 10/30/2018 STATUS: Pretty straightforward. AAPL finally broke out of the doldrums to start August. We have played the moves higher. Last week AAPL hit a new high, but after two weeks upside it needed a breather. Wednesday to Friday it took the breather, fading to near the 10 day EMA, showing a hammer doji Friday. If AAPL is ready to go higher again from here, we want to move in as it makes that break. This is its third touch of the 10 day EMA after the breakout, and historically stocks have 4 to 5 such moves before needing a deeper test. If it wants to test deeper to the 20 day EMA (217.87) and sit on the August mid-month peak before rebounding, that works as well; we will simply adjust the entry point. A move to the target from the Friday close lands a 75%ish gain on the call options. CHART VIDEO Volume: 37.62M Avg Volume: 28.253M BUY POINT: $223.21 Volume=40M Target=$238.00 Stop=$218.32 POSITION: AAPL NOV 16 2018 225.00 C - (46 DELTA) Learn more about our Stock Split Report and how we have made gains of 321% with our powerful stock split plays!

IMMU (Immunomedics--$24.78; 0.00; optionable): Biotch Company Profile EARNINGS: 11/22/2018 STATUS: We like playing IMMU as one of the 'smaller' biotechs, one that is now moving more into the midrange. That works. IMMU rallied the last part of August, clearing the June and July highs. It tested that move last week, coming back to the 50 day SMA and 38% Fibonacci retracement of that last rally. The Friday doji at the 38% retracement is a good signal to enter, and thus as IMMU bounces up off this test we plan to do just that. CHART VIDEO Volume: 1.002M Avg Volume: 1.561M BUY POINT: $25.11 Volume=1.8M Target=$29.97 Stop=$23.44 POSITION: IMMU NOV 16 2018 25.00 C - (51 delta) &/or Stock Save $600 per year and enjoy a 2 week trial of our IH Alerts Service! | ||
