January Portfolio Return – 4.08%

The January portfolio return was once again extremely profitable for our members and marks the 12th consecutive month without ANY losing trades! Again that’s 1 WHOLE YEAR without any losing trades!

Compared to the December portfolio, we had a total return that lower comparatively from December at 4.08% to 5.19%. Clearly we don’t really care if we increase or decrease our monthly returns as long as we hit our 3% profit goal – which we are beating nearly each month. In addition, we showed once again that even in the face of a major market moves higher and extreme volatility, selling options with out P.O.T.S system still produced great profits.

To re-cap this month’s income, let’s look at what we made vs. our required investments (in margin). Here are the positions we had with corresponding PROFIT/INVESTMENT and RETURN:

DIA 108 CALL – $53/$1,221 = 4.34% Return

DIA 110 CALL – $55/$1,351 = 4.07% Return

IWM 66 CALL - $30/$595 = 5.04% Return

IWM 42 PUT – $18/$419 = 4.29% Return

QQQQ 35 PUT – $6/$382 = 1.57% Return

As we said earlier, we did not have to close out any positions this month at a loss. This just goes to show everyone that by writing options, you are basically forcing the indexes to make dramatic moves in a very short time frame. And since we have positions on BOTH sides of the market (Puts and Calls), you are guaranteed to make money on at least one side of the trade every time – or both sides like we do every month.

With regard to TOTAL INCOME and RETURN, the January portfolio produced $162 of total income (double from last month) after investing just $3,968 in margin. That means we saw a total portfolio return of 4.08% this month. As we usually point out, our calculations assume that you enter just 1 (ONE) contract for each trading alert – i.e. a total of 5 contracts for the month. Those members with a higher capital base should be entering multiple contract positions each week.

***Even if you factor in a 1% comission for the month our return would still produce annualized returns of over 35% per year***

Currently we have a fully invested 2010 February income portfolio and are about to begin THIS WEEK building the March income portfolio. The outlook for both of these portfolios is extremely positive right now as we are still writing options far away from the market’s current price.
