Option Plays to close on July 22nd:

Trade Alert eMailed @ 3:40pm:

• +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 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
      
• +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%
      
• +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:

• (------) ~ the best looking short to apply the system with @ the open; THIS IS HUGE! DONT MISS THIS PICK!
  
• (------) ~ buy long @ open; looks to open down
• (------) ~ buy long @ open; system
• (------) ~ 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)
  

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

1. (MRTN)
2. (R)

• +AMDTA (AMD) ~ Aug 5 Put; closed @ .67 with a tight bid/ask of .66/.68
