Booking 73.33% and 69.25% Gains in Seven Days

I recommended last week that you buy options in two of your Ireland-related plays, Bank of Ireland (IRE) and Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ).

Sure enough, both options are solidly up, even in the face of unsettled global stock markets.

So with your October $10 IRE calls up 73.33% and September $65 JAZZ calls up 69.25%, sell half of your options in each of these picks to lock in your gains.

With Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) up 14.99%, also sell half of your shares here, and raise your stop to $63.80 to lock in 10%-plus gains on the stock.
