Trade Alert - (GLD)

Sell the (GLD) September, 2012 $148-$151 Call Spread at $2.90 or best

Closing Trade

8-23-2012 ? 10:00 AM EST

expiration date: 9-21-2012

Portfolio weighting: 10%

40 Contracts

We have squeezed most of the profit out of this trade and the risk/reward is no longer favorable. At these prices we have squeezed out 97% of the potential profit and have a 20% absolute gain, not bad for a week of work. I will keep my remaining 10% weighting and add on any dips.
Gold is going higher.

I am happy to report that this is the 13th consecutive profitable closing position for my trade alert service. As of this minute we are up 13.7% on the year.

These are the trades you should execute:

Sell the September, 2012 (GLD) $148 calls at????$13.70
Buy the September, 2012 (GLD) $151 calls at??...?.$10.80
Net Premium Proceeds:????????..?......???...$2.90

Profit at expiration:
$2.90 - $2.42 = $0.48

(40 X 100 X $0.48) = $1,920, or 1.92% profit for the notional $100,000 portfolio for a one week position.

Thank you Mr. Goldfinger!
