Last month, our options trading strategy produced some phenomenal, quick returns in spite of January's typically unfavorable trade history. This month, our strategy has normally produced better results, however, we find ourselves in the midst of extreme market volatility. Reviewing all monthly options trades in February's past shows fairly consistent gains with the exception of 2009, where all trades were significant losses. Regardless, our data indicates that the market will more likely than not produce positive returns early next week. We cannot stress enough, to focus on the low end of our target guidelines and lock in profits as soon as they are presented.
