Here is what I am looking at today. Salesforce.com, Inc. (CRM) is starting a trend up and has the potential for a great trade. I have also included an update on a previous trade example at the bottom of this message.
Let’s take a look at CRM as an example of how options work and the advantages they offer. In this case we are going to focus on True Strength Index (TSI), a powerful indicator that generates signals that help you spot great trades. You can get a great explanation of TSI here and learn more about how to use it effectively.
You can see on the chart above that the TSI Indicator moved above 0, telling us it has bullish momentum. Whenever we are preparing to enter a trade, we look for confirmation that the move is solid and the likelihood of it continuing in the intended direction is high.
In this case, a move to $200 is the confirmation we are looking for. In this example, if that happens, we will look at a target of $210 and even higher.
Options are very effective trading tools as the offer leverage. As an example, if you bought one Call option contract covering 100 shares of CRM’s stock with a May 19th expiration date for the 210 strike, the premium would be approximately $1.99 per share, or a total of $199 for the contract of 100 shares. If price rose the expected $10 over the next few weeks, the premium would likely increase approximately $5.00 to $6.99 This is a gain of 251% profit. That would be a nice trade over a short period of time!
Being thankful is one of the strongest and most transforming states of being. It shifts your perspective from lack to abundance and allows you to focus on the good in your life, which in turn pulls more blessings into your reality.
I send you wishes for the very best,
Wendy
Last week we looked at buying AAPL May 19th 170 calls. On 4-18 the premium was $3.30. You could have sold on 4-19 for $3.80, a 15% profit.
