With the stock technically overbought on the short term, I am holding off on recommending options this week.

Portfolio Update

There is lots to do on the option front this week.

Exclusive  Stocks Hit New Highs… Then Bitcoin… and Now Gold: Welcome to the New Roaring Twenties!

Sell

Sell one half of your remaining STZ July $140 calls for a 114.37% gain.

Sell one half of your LOW July $75 calls for a 53.42% gain.

Buy

With some of your major blue-chip holdings pulling back over the past three weeks, several of them have become technically oversold and now are ripe for option recommendations.

Sincerely,
Nicholas Vardy
