We Respect Hayman Capital's Kyle Bass for his Fiscal Conservative Views; but We did Call Gold Lower and many Subscribers Booked 700%+ Returns while Bass was in Direct Opposition...

Hedge fund guru Kyle Bass on gold: April 9, 2013.

Fund: Hayman Capital Master
Manager: Kyle Bass
Management Firm: Hayman Capital Management
Strategy: Event driven
Assets, in billions: $1.0
2011 return: 1.8%

Sent to POTC subscribers on March 18, 2013: 

We are building a X% portfolio position in the NEM May $35 puts.

We will build the position over the next 3-days. 

Our thesis is that gold is over-owned and the stagger-step unwind is upon us. We predict a S/P pullback has also begun and gold will fail.

Most miners are in a precarious position today, NEM's hefty dividend should be under pressure as the co reports in just over a month. Our plan is exit out of 50% of our put contracts after the position doubles.

Many subscribers booked 700%+ returns on Monday, April 15, 2013. 

Though we agree with Bass on many political issues,  the breakdown in gold in the face of weak U.S. economic statistics should have been a warning flag for him; especially after the Large and Round number of $1,500.00 was taken out. 

The S/P has been more volatile lately as a group of money managers have become too cozy in gold; the recent and large % drop will force many of them to rejigger portfolios and  stir volatility; even as the Fed buys $80 billion of Treasuries a month.  

POTC has followed Bass since 2008 and will continue as he made a killing in the 2008 Banking and Credit crisis. Yet we wish the TV media monopolies would give a tad more time to lesser known sources like the team at Psychology of the Call (POTC).

We called the top in crude oil to the day in the summer of 2008 and now we warned about gold. If you would like to read what we wrote, email us with 'Oil' in the subject line:

Upcoming Post Earnings Educational Trade Alerts (PEETA): Google Inc. (GOOG) and Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG)

Email all questions to: Psychologyofthecall@gmail.com

GOOG and ISRG will post Q1, 2013 earnings on Thursday, April 18th after market close. Every subscriber will receive a Red-Eye PEETA on one or both cos. 

We believe that the #1 option trading strategy is to position post earnings fallout or market jarring news with just a single day expiration.

A Thoroughbred PEETA is one that triggers news after market close on Thursday and Friday is weekly or monthly option expiration; a 6.5 hour window is all we need. 

We enter with calculated electronic limits after comparing the results, listening to the conference call (esp Q&A), and handicapping the talking herd.

After decades of trading experience and thousands of Red-Eye hours spent reviewing fundamental and technical factors, our bullish or bearish call results. A stock could only do three things after earnings release:
1.) Continue the after hours reaction (sometimes with a morning fake as FFIV did),
2.) Reverse the after hours reaction (sometimes with a morning fake), or
3.) Trade sideways.  

We have found that #3 rarely occurs after a stock is up or down more than a certain % following earnings release. 

Thanks for Reading, Educating, Trading, and Telling your wise friends about our efforts,

F5 Networks (FFIV) PEETA Update: Quick Profits; Subscribers Once Again Stand Apart from the Wall & Broad Crowd...

Congrats to all who booked 100% profits within 1-hour:
1.) Our PEETA Buy Limit put order triggered within 10-minutes of open as shared whipsawed with fear & greed,
2.) Our trusted 4th Commandment instructed us to pounce on profits.

FFIV was the 1st PEETA of this Q2. We will do 3 more and 4 for all who responded to our Friday riddle regarding the likely Q2 trading theme as a result of the pre-announcement.

Trading Nuggets to be Logged from FFIV:
1.) Trust in POTC's educational research and Limit parameters from time to time,
2.) If you have 100% gains inside a 6 1/2 hour window, strongly consider booking a larger % than the 4th Commandment suggests, yet..
3.) Always leave a small % of contracts on just in case the stock continues to break your way. You will be happy if you always let small % of contracts ride as one big continuation/move like GOOG in Q3 (2,000%+) puts things in mathematical perspective.
4.) FFIV stayed profitable for us all day though the largest gains came early, underscoring that quick success demands booking profits inside a small 6 1/2 hour window.   
5.) You must stand apart from the wildebeest crowd at all times, this FFIV PEETA was proof that managing Time is as  important as managing Price.

Thanks for Reading, Educating, and Trading with us,
