PLAY: Buy more GMCR October 75 Calls (QGM JO) at market, good for the day. Lower your protective stop limit to $0.60.

Dear Bottarelli Research Member,

I mentioned this morning that I’m never comfortable with large directional moves in the first few moments of trading. From the way trading has progressed this afternoon, you can see why. As I write, the market’s internal strength is wearing off, which has caused most stocks to come off their daily highs. But at the same time, this could also be a temporary profit-taking breather before another end-of-day push. So once again, we’ll continue playing this market in the most sensible and nimble manner possible.

As part of this nimble strategy, I’d like to lower our cost basis and add to our GMCR October 75 Calls (QGM JO).As you know, GMCR can move very quickly, and something doesn’t seem right about today’s trading pattern. We re-entered October calls this afternoon for $1.60, but you can now grab them for $1.00. With strong support at the $70.00 level, I still think GMCR has more upside to come. Therefore, let’s use this afternoon’s dip to lower our cost basis by adding to our position now.

At the same time, I’m continuing to watch Wynn Resorts (WYNN – NASDAQ). Despite the market’s strong upside move, I found it odd that WYNN is not showing much strength today. This indicates that the company’s internals are weak, despite a strong overall market. Check it out:

WYNN

Just imagine what could happen to WYNN if the markets make a downside move. In short, it could drop another $5.00 very quickly. Therefore, I’ll continue to watch WYNN for the best available entry point.

Until then…

Lock and load!

Sincerely,
