Can't Sit In-Front of the Screen All-Day Long To Monitor Your Trades???

Dear Fellow Options Traders :

Good News!

If you missed Thursday night's webinar on Options University Strategist (OUS), or you were simply not able to attend, you have one more chance to see it!

But you have to jump on this now!!.

Options University says that to keep the service manageable and to be fair to options traders who took up the service early, they will have to take down the Options University Strategist (OUS) Service as soon as all 100 spots are taken.

So, for one last time, here is that webinar replay page again!

If any slots are still available, you'll learn how to get started with OUS by viewing the webinar.

So now you have one last chance to get in on what's already being called ""the last options trading service you'll ever need."

Here is the link again!

Grab the introductory price and you'll lock in this price forever!! If you wish to sign up straight away just click here!!

I wanted to let you know of a new service coming out from The Options University called The Options University Strategist or OUS for short.

Specifically, the service will provide you :

* Daily / Weekly option picks, trade alerts, trade updates of existing postions, and POSITION MANAGEMENT..

* Breakdown of options they recommend to trade, the exact positions for you to enter into your broker platform..

* Immediate email and direct computer alerts every time they recommend a change in a position! (Special Proprietary Scanning & Filtering Software included)..

* How they handle the "morphing" and/or roll-out of the position..

* How and when to close out the position for the maximum gain..

The Service is suitable for options traders with different option trading styles (conservative/premium collector/directional trader etc..). It's especially suitable for Options Traders who have a Day-Job and could not sit in-front of the screen all day long to check their trades.

The preview video would give you a good idea what the service is all about..

Here's the link to that video ...

Also, there will be hosting a Special Webinar THIS Thursday night (15 Nov 2007) at 9:00 PM Eastern. It will cover OUS in much more detail, and answer any questions you might have about the service.

Here's where to get all the details for this Special OUS Webinar

A Trade on Polo Ralph Lauren Corp's (RL)

Dear Fellow Options Traders :

Noted that Polo Ralph Lauren Corp (Ticker : RL), a designer & manufacturer of lifestyle products like apparel and accessories, would be reporting on 7 Nov 2007 before market opens.

Polo Ralph Lauren Corp's (RL) stock price has been beaten down quite badly. As of 5 Nov 2007, RL has reached a new 52-Week low of $66.00. For the past 3 quarters, RL had also gapped down after earnings announcement either from missing EPS estimate (Q1/08) or had provided downside guidance during Q4/07 & Q3/07 earnings announcement.

From past earnings, I observed RL have a price gapping range (in either direction) of around $3.00 to $4.00 after earnings announcement. I paper traded a slightly in-the-money Nov 65 Call on the eve of earnings announcement ie. 6 Nov 2007 when RL was trading around $66.00. From past experiences, I have found that trading a call option for earnings announcement of a company which has already reached 52-Week low would yield a hgher probability of success (BUT not always the case though).


On 7 Nov 2007 (Wednesday) before market opens, RL reported Q2 (Sep) earnings of $1.09 per share, comparable to Reuters Estimates consensus. Revenues rose 11.3% year/year to $1.3 bln vs the $1.27 bln consensus. However, RL projected Q3 revenues to grow at a mid single digit percentage range. Polo Ralph Lauren Corp's (RL) also issued guidance for FY08; expected EPS of $3.50-3.60, might not be comparable to $3.70 consensus; expected Y08 revenues to increase by a low-teen percentage.

On 7/11/07 (Wednesday), RL gapped down -$1.60 initially to $64.73 when market opened. But the stock price started to move up gradually with good volume so I started to chart resistance lines as the price went up, reminding myself to sell the position once the stock price crossed the latest resistance line (please refer to following diagram). I sold the position at around 10.10am EST when the red candle cut the highest resistance line coupled with heavy selling (represented by the red volume bar at the bottom of the chart).

A Trade on Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD)

Dear Fellow Options Trader :

I have shared in a previous post where Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD), a restaurant operator, gapped down -$7.00 to $36.50 On 1 Aug 2007 when it reported Q2 earnings which fell short of market expectation (after multiple quarters of upside results).

From Briefing.com, I've researched and saw an analyst's comment that BWLD valuation was still being held back by a few lingering concerns: 1) slowing growth rates and difficult back-half comparisons; 2) potential 1Q08 repricing of the fresh chicken wing contract; and 3) any difficulties with franchisees obtaining financing to open their restaurants.

I also checked back the script of Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD) Q2 Earnings Conference Call held on 31 Jul 2007 and noted that although July 2007 same store sale rebounded to +11%, there would be more difficult comparisons coming in the final 5 months of 2007.

I paper traded a slightly in-the-money Nov 40 Put on 30 Oct 2007 when Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD) was trading around $39.00.

On 30 Oct 2007 after market closed, Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD) reported Q3 same-store sales from co restaurants of 8.3% vs 6.5% est and Q3 revs of $82.4 mln (above est of $81.1 mln). Despite better revenue, EPS came in lower than expectaed at $0.24 vs. consensus of $0.26. The miss was mainly attributable to higher costs incurred from cost of goods and pre-opening expenses. The company could be facing a challenging environment ahead.




On 31/10/07 (Wednesday), Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD) gapped down -$8.00 to $31.33. I sold the put for a $550.00 profit.

Wishing you Profitable in your Options Trading too.

Yours Sincerely,

A Losing Trade on CROCS Inc (CROX)

Dear Fellow Options Trader :

For the past 2 earnings quarters, CROCS Inc (CROX) was a stunning performer.

On 27 July 2007, CROX gapped up +$9.00 to $59.21 when they reported their Q2 earnings quarter where EPS was $0.14 better than the Reuters Estimates consensus and revenues rose 162.0% year/year to $224.3 mln.

On 4 May 2007, CROX gapped up +$12.00 to $69.00 when they reported Q1 earnings of $0.61 per share, $0.12 better than the Reuters Estimates consensus of $0.49; revenues rose 216.7% year/year to $142 mln. The company also announces 2-for-1 stock split.

I checked through the research analysts comments for the past 1 month or so and most were positive, expecting CROX to beat Q3 earnings with upside Q4 guidance anticipating a strong holiday season ahead. Besides, channel checks at the co's retail store also indicated sales to be exceptional.

After 2 blow-out earning quarters, expectation must be running high for CROX to perform exceptional well this quarter. as can be seen from the 9 points rise a few days before earnings announcement before the plunge on 1 Nov 2007.


CROX options are also expensive due to build-up of implied volatility leading to earnings announcement as you can see that the out-the-money Nov 75 Call still demand $6.10 per share.


Expecting CROCS Inc (CROX) to build on the momentum of the 2 previous blow-out earnings quarter, I paper traded a Nov 75 Call at $610.00 on the eve of earnings, 31 Oct 2007. After market closed, CROX reported Q3 earnings where EPS beat by a mere $0.03 while revenue was in-line. CROX raises FY07 guidance again but it was a mixed guidance as the company expect FY07 EPS to be $1.94-1.98 vs. $1.97 consensus while FY07 revenue to be $820-830 mln vs. $835.67 mln consensus. In the company conference call, CROX said they missed out on approx $10-15 mln this quarter due to delayed shipments.


On 1 Nov 2007 when market opened, CROX tanked -$20.00 to $53.60 and went down further -$6.00 to close at $47.74. The Nov 75 Call lost all its premium. It would now depend whether CROX would turn around these 2 weeks to fetch back at least some of the premium.
