expiration date: 11-16-2012

Portfolio weighting: 25%

($25,000/100/$4.25) = 65 Contracts

I am dramatically reducing the size of my book going into the Fed decision on Thursday. If I am correct in my assessment and there will no QE3, there could be a sharp selloff in the entire ?RISK ON? space. Since (GLD) has been one of the best performers, it will likely take the biggest hit.

In addition, I have extracted a hefty 32% of the potential profit in the (GLD) November, 2012 $153-$158 Call Spread in a mere two trading days. That means I don?t have to wait two more months to take in the rest of the profit. If you win the lottery once, don?t count on it happing twice in a row. This also give me plenty of dry powder to add new positions in the post Fed world.

If I am right, we should get at least a $50 dump in gold, and $5 in the (GLD), and I will jump back in on the long side. If I am wrong, I will chase it with the further out of the money, less profitable call spread. Longer term, I think the barbarous relic is in the process of taking a run at its previous high of $1,922.

Please note that this is the 25th consecutive closing profitable position for the Trade Alert Service, and a new all time career record for consecutive wins.

These are the trades you should execute to get out:

Sell 65 November, 2012 (GLD) $153 calls at?????..?$15.60
Buy to cover short 65 November, 2012 (GLD) $158 calls.?.$11.35

Net Cost:??????????.???????.??..?...$4.25

Profit: $4.25 - $3.90 = $0.35

(65 X 100 X $0.35) = $2,275, or 2.28% profit for the notional $100,000 portfolio.

See You Next Time!
