Subject: Stock Option Trading Idea of the Week from Terry's Tips - A Remarkably Safe Way To Play The Apple Earnings Announcement

Dear Friend,
 
Apple announces earnings Wednesday after the close and I have come up with a strategy that looks like it can make a decent gain for the week (ranging from 5% to 15%) with almost no chance of incurring a loss.

The big downside of the strategy is that it requires an investment of about $16,000.  I understand that many subscribers are looking for less costly option investments.

However, if you can afford an investment of this size, check out the Seeking Alpha article I wrote just yesterday.

A Remarkably Safe Way To Play The Apple Earnings Announcement


Here is the link - A Remarkably Safe Way To Play The Apple Earnings Announcement

This is the third week in a row that I have offered a strategy centering on the unusually-high option prices in the series that expires just after an earnings announcement.

The first play was for Wells Fargo - How to Play the Wells Fargo Earnings Announcement for Tomorrow.  This one gained 44% after commissions.

The second play involved eBay - How to Play the EBAY Earnings Announcement.  I waited too long to close out my spreads this time around (many subscribers gained 24% or more).  But I did manage to make 11.6% after commissions, still not a bad week.

I think this week’s earnings-announcement play is the safest one yet in spite of the high cost  requirement.  I am also sharing with paid subscribers a most promising play in Starbucks (SBUX).

Testimonial of the Week

I was stuck in a meeting and had to wait 2 hours before I could close out my positions, but was lucky to make some further gains, which worked to a net gain after commissions of $1110.

That's a 68% gain in an overnight trade - extremely good!

Thanks for an excellent trade recommendation!
