Analysis
December continues to provide a great end to the trading year for our Monthly Options Trading Strategy. You'll note approximately the same number of winning trades as last month, however, this has been produced with fewer overall trades in total for the last month meaning we are at a much higher winning history for the month. The trade history shows overwhelmingly positive returns save for 2002, where we had a dismal month. Taken in sum, we are looking at a sorted table of historically successful picks paired with the average or return of 75% and a high winning history. It is a bit all over the place but overall a generally positive outlook.
