Booking 84.95% and 66.67% Gains in Options

After the market’s strong recent run, I am recommending that you book some of your strong recent gains before we enter the traditionally weak September period.

  1. Close your bet on the Russian bounce by selling your position in Mobile Telesystems (MBT) for a 9.86% gain. Also sell your September $19 call options (MBT140920C00019000) for a 66.67% gain.
  2. Sell the ProShares Ultra Real Estate (URE) to lock in an 8.91% gain.
  3. Finally, sell your ProShares UltraPro Dow30 (UDOW) to lock in a 9.92% gain on this textbook bounce off of the 200-day moving average. Book your 84.95% gains in your related October $166 DIA call options (DIA141018C00166000) as well.
