Weekend Trade Alert Update - September Trades

The markets moved widely again this week. Our open trades are very safe this weekend even after these big moves up and down.

The good news is now we have a hedge trade in place. Today we had our QQQQ put orders filled when the markets rose. These $2 contracts will be worth $5 to $10 each if the market drops and our stop loss prices are reached. If the market does not crash due to a black swan event these $2 options would expire worthless. Over a 12 month period these hedge trades will expire 6 times (months) and be sold for a profit 6 times. But in the event of a big crash they will increase in value very fast and be sold quickly for a windfall profit that should more than offset any losses incurred closing any open Bull Put trades.
