Twelve days ago, on Facebook and in my chat room, I recommended buying the Oct 19th 30/35 vertical call spread for 0.50 or less. The Facebook video was presented under the headline Leveraging an October Disaster with Cheap Calls, and you can view it by clicking here. The spread subsequently traded as low as 0.21 before stocks began to fall last week, launching the position skyward. It doubled, then tripled in value earlier in the week, shooting up as high as 3.00 today with the S&Ps in a 100-point dive. Anyone who followed my simple guidance could have made between five and fifteen times his or her original investment. As is my custom, I recommended cashing out half of the position when it doubled in value, allowing subscribers to hold the remainder for a risk-free swing at the fences. I also recommended keeping one or two contracts until expiration day, since, if VXX is trading above 35 at that time, the spread would be worth its maximum value of 5.00. To all who took a position based on my guidance, good luck! _______ UPDATE (Oct 12, 9:08 p.m): VXX ran up to 37.38 around mid-day, making the last remnants of the spread an easy sale for 4.80 or higher. Subscribers who held out for top dollar should take some their gains and splurge on something you’ll enjoy.
