 Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh. Happy July 4th, everyone. I'm going over Apple. This was an options trade that I called in the options newsletter. I called the 190 calls. I felt like this took forever to go. What do I mean? It didn't go until the last day. I ended up being a very profitable trade today, but you know, one of the reasons people always ask me how do you manage options trades? Well, for me, okay, the risk, the stop is the risk. So the stop is the risk. So I don't put in an extra stop. Now, if you want to kill a trade, if it's down 50%, okay, you could kill it, but then you may miss out on a trade like this. So this trade popped today. Again, flew up, gapped up today, ran up. It expires today, July, June 30th. We didn't take it into July. No one should be still in this actually. But I mean, if you stayed with this trade, you got paid. So in this type of market, I really think patience is key besides making the right picks. And we went long. You know, this was a long, it's not always that I go long, but Apple is a strong chart. Now again, we're tapering off here. It's Friday, almost 12 o'clock Eastern time going into holiday weekend. Everyone should be flat. No one should be in any trades here. No one should be trading the rest of the day. The day is over and I actually closed the trading room today because I thought today would be very low volume. We had to move this morning, but everybody really should be done in out. But here is the chart of Apple as you well can see. So again, I called the 190 calls, but it took up until the last day, the last day to go. And sometimes that's what it is. So one of the, one of the pieces of advice I give to people is don't risk more than you can afford to lose because then you will be more calm and peaceful waiting the trade out. This started to lift. You know, it started to lift though this week. I mean, it started to lift here and started to lift here depending what you paid for it. You might have been able to get out of it yesterday with some money. In fact, I was really just break even yesterday. I must have paid more than some with this, but it popped today. And this is also one of the benefits of being on the options newsletter. Why? Because I will call a trade that it will gap in the direction of the move in a call. It would gap up like this, this gap up over the strike. And sometimes I call puts that gap down through the strike. These are the most profitable trades of all the trades that I ever call on the options newsletter is when you were in a trade and the move happens overnight and you're already in it. You don't have to do anything. You didn't have to do anything with this today. You could have got out of it today, not even thought and you were up, but again, you would have had to hold it. So this is part of the learning process. So many people don't want to take the time to learn. If you understand this chart and why I called the trade, you would have been fine with holding it through and taking your time with it. If you don't understand, you don't understand. So it's important to understand this closed here at $189.59, gapped up, open in the morning at $191.63, high today was $193.15. Again, if it was not a holiday, if we weren't going into a short week, I would say this could have gone to $195 today. I mean, I don't think that happens, but again, if this was a normal Friday, a normal day, I might have said that. Now, if you're thinking about trading options with me, the best thing you can do is first take the golden gap course, but I know a lot of people just don't want to take the time to learn. That is your choice. I think you will trade better if you actually learn the system. And if you do, you're going to, again, stay with the trade like this, which was a fabulous trade, a gorgeous trade, beautiful. It's like 175% return and investment in the street. So this was really a nice winner and a wonderful surprise. You're going into the holiday weekend. If you just want to sign up for the Gap Options newsletter, you can.
