The long iron butterfly is another range trading strategy and a variation of the Iron Condor. Both these strategies use a combination of two credit spreads facing opposite directions, one using calls, the other puts. The difference between the two is the range of option strike prices used - the Iron Condor has four different strike prices and uses ‘out of the money’ sold options for the ‘body’ of the setup, whereas the Iron Butterfly focuses on using the same ‘at the money’ short (i.e. sold) strike prices for the ‘body’ and two long ‘out of the money’ options for the ‘wings’. As a consequence, the iron butterfly brings in a greater credit due to the higher priced ATM options being sold, but also involves a greater risk that the stock will penetrate the wings, because they will usually be closer to the current trading price of the underlying stock at the time of entry.
Butterfly vs Iron Butterfly
We also need to distinguish between the concept of a Butterfly Spread and an Iron Butterfly. The former uses either all calls or all put options and comprises an adjacent credit spread and a debit spread together, usually resulting in a net debit to your account. The Iron Butterfly however, uses two credit spreads - a ‘bear call’ and a ‘bull put’ spread. These two credit spreads are what creates the ‘iron’ part of these strategies. The idea is that you are bringing in a double premium and a net credit in the knowledge that whatever happens from here, only ONE of the credit spreads can lose if you let them run to expiry.
Let’s take an example to illustrate
XYZ stock is currently trading at $20, therefore options with a $20 strike price will be ‘at the money’. We believe this stock will continue to trade within the range of $15 - $25 by the time our positions will expire. We use the same amount of option contracts for all positions.
1. Bear Call Credit Spread
SELL $20 ‘at the money’ call options
BUY $25 ‘out of the money’ call options
2. Bull Put Credit Spread
SELL $20 ‘at the money’ put options
BUY $15 ‘out of the money’ put options
From the above we can see that we have taken out four options positions simultaneously, with a common ATM $20 strike price for calls and puts, to form our Iron Butterfly - but breaking it down, we have two credit spreads.
Characteristics of the Iron Butterfly
Limited Risk: Your risk is the difference between ONE of the strike prices on either side of the middle strike prices, (the ‘body’ of the butterfly), LESS the premium you have received from selling both ‘at the; money’ call and put options. If option volatility is working in your favour at the time you take the trade, this risk can be minimal.
Limited Reward: Your profit is limited to the premium you take in from selling ‘at the money’ options.
Collateral Required: Normally for credit spreads, you will need sufficient funds in your broker account to cover the difference between strike prices, times the number of shares the option contracts cover. However, since it is only possible for one of your positions to be unprofitable at expiry, some brokers may take this into consideration and allow you to only allocate funds necessary to cover one side of the spread.
Recommended Strategy
First, you identify a stock that you believe will be range bound at least until the expiry date of your iron butterfly position.
Second, you should examine the current market prices relative to the option strikes necessary to establish the strategy. Organize these into a table and evaluate the ‘risk to reward’ ratio before placing the trade. The basic idea is, to take advantage of option prices that will allow you to get into the trade for a maximum credit in comparison to the potential risk at expiry. For example, if you see an Iron Butterfly opportunity following a large move, option implied volatility may work in your favour so that your sold positions relative to your OTM bought ones result in a risk to reward ratio of over 1000 percent.
Exit Strategies
You do not need to wait until expiry date to exit your position. Providing the stock remains within the range you anticipate, this allows you some flexibility as the options approach expiry date. You simply evaluate the profit level within the final two weeks and exit when the market price of the underlying is closest to your ‘at the money’ positions.
However, if the price of the underlying should surge away in either direction and breach the outer strike prices, you can do one of two things. Either exit the position to ensure you are not assigned the underlying shares, or … depending on where you think the stock may go from here, you could take advantage of a nice characteristic of credit spreads and roll out the losing position to a later expiry month, while letting the other side of the credit spread expire without risk.

A stock picker program is technology which automatically does all of the analytical work in the stock market on your behalf so that you don’t have to know anything about the market or need to have ever invested in your life to see some reliable gains come out of the market. No emotions factor into your trades and all you’ve got to do is invest as the picker tells you. Not every program is the same, however, so this article explains how you can get the best stock picker program on the market today to make the kind of money that you want out of this market.
Right up front you should make sure that the publishers offer a full money back guarantee on their stock picker program. If they do not that’s a good sign that you should expect that their program offers no value and likely exists just to take your money. Conversely, the publishers who stand behind their products enough to assure your satisfaction in full says something entirely different.
That also affords you the opportunity of actually testing the stock picker program first hand.
Occasionally the publishers believe in their product so greatly that they encourage that you test their system by taking them up on that guarantee. I recommend this because it’s so easy, there’s no risk, and it doesn’t take much time. All you’ve got to do is get the program, receive a handful of picks, and follow their performances in the market to ensure that they perform well and will make you money.
Another mark of the best stock picker program is that it primarily deals in penny stocks. This means that this program only targets the more inexpensive side of the stocks out there. This is a good thing, because penny stocks are typically lower risk investments but offer just as much profit potential if not more so than other stocks.
It’s very common for a penny stock to quickly increase in value in short bursts before settling again, enabling you to quickly double or triple your investment. The only obstacle is finding them, hence using a stock picker program which is specifically designed for targeting these investments.
Finally, look to user reviews to point you in the right direction, as well, as this information can be invaluable coming from those who have used the best stock picker programs or programs themselves and have chosen to share their personal takes on them accordingly.

Earnings Season Almost Complete
Posted In: Stock Market
Earnings Preview 2/26/10
Earnings season is winding down, but that does not mean it is over. Next week will bring 296 earnings reports, though just 11 members of the S&P 500. Some of the higher profile firms to report will be Progressive Insurance (PGR), Costco (COST) and Big Lots (BIG).
While the earnings news will be lighter next week than it has been recently, there will be lots of economic data released, starting with data on personal income and spending, both ISM indexes and ending the week with the always extremely important employment report on Friday.
Monday
• Personal Income will be reported and it expected to rise by 0.4% for January, matching a 0.4% rise in December
• Personal spending is expected to have risen 0.4% (seasonally adjusted) in January, up from a 0.2% rise in December. If Income and Spending both rise at the same rate, the savings rate will remain unchanged. The Savings rate is substantially higher than it was a few years ago, but well below where we need to see it long term. However, a rising savings rate is a serious near-term headwind for the economy
• Construction spending is expected to have fallen 0.6% on top of a 1.2% decline in December. Given the weakness we have seen in new home sales, and the ongoing slump in commercial real estate, I think the number will come in weaker than the consensus expectations, closer to a 1.0% decline
• The ISM manufacturing survey is expected to slip to 58.0 for February, from 58.4 in January. That will still be a fairly strong reading, as anything over 50 indicates economic expansion. The index is made up of ten sub-indexes. Pay close attention to the new orders and employment sub-indexes, as they provide the best clues about the future
Tuesday
• The Auto companies report car and truck sales. While sales have started to revive, they are doing so from extraordinarily depressed levels. Given the ongoing negative press that Toyota (TM) has been getting, look for Ford (F) and GM to pick up some market share
Wednesday
• ADP provides the appetizer for the employment report main course, which comes out on Friday. ADP, the largest payroll processor, is expected to say the economy lost 10,000 private sector jobs in February, an improvement over their assessment of a loss of 22,000 jobs in January
• The ISM Services index is expected to show a slight improvement to 51.0 for February from the 50.5 reading in January. Since 50 is the dividing line between expansion and contraction, this would be consistent with extremely anemic — but positive — growth in the huge service sector of the economy. In recent months, the service index has been significantly weaker than the manufacturing index
Thursday
• Weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance come out. They rose 22,000 in the last week, to 496,000. The overall trend for the last several months had been down. However, that has reversed over the last two months, with seven of the last 8 weeks seeing increases. We probably need for weekly claims (and the four-week moving average of them) to get down to near 400,000 to signal that the economy is on-balance adding jobs. We are a lot closer now than we were last spring when they were running north of 600,000 on a consistent basis, but still have a ways to go. The recent trend is very troubling
• Continuing claims have also been in a steep downtrend of late. However, that is in part due to people simply exhausting their regular state benefits, which run out after 26 weeks. If one factors in the extended claims paid by the Federal government as part of the Stimulus program, claims soared last week. Looking at just the regular continuing claims numbers is a serious mistake. They only include a little over half of the unemployed now given the unprecedentedly high duration of unemployment figures. Last week regular continuing claims were 4.617 million, up 6,000 from the previous week. Extended claims (paid from Federal ARRA funds) were 5.684 million, a decrease of 320,000. Make sure to look at both sets of numbers!
• The second look at productivity for the 4th quarter will be released. In the first report productivity soared by 6.2%, and the consensus looks for that to be unchanged. Given today’s upward revision to the GDP number, I would not be surprised to see the productivity numbers be revised slightly upwards. Also in the report will be the second look at unit labor costs, which were estimated to have dropped 4.4% in the 4th quarter on the first look, and are also expected to be unrevised. Falling unit labor costs is a very good thing for corporate profits
• Factory orders are expected to have risen by 1.2% in January on top or a 1.0% rise in December
• Pending Home Sales are expected to show a rise of 1.7% on top of a 1.0% increase in December. I am skeptical about this, given the most recent housing numbers, and suspect the number will be below the December increase
Friday
• The most important report of the week is the employment report. In it, the Unemployment rate is expected to have ticked up to 9.8% from 9.7% in January
• Non-farm payrolls are expected to fall by 20,000, matching the drop in January. However, the snowstorms may well make the report much weaker than that. Other things to look for in the report will be the duration of unemployment numbers and the number of temporary worker jobs
• The report will also show the length of the average work week, which is expected to have dropped to 33.7 hours from 33.9. That would be a bad sign if it were to happen
• Average hourly earnings are expected to have increased by 0.2% in February, matching the 0.2% rise January
• Consumer Credit (excluding mortgages) is expected to have declined once again in January, with a drop of $4.1 billion expected on top of the $1.7 billion decline in December. Historically, falling consumer credit has been extremely rate, but if the projections come true, this will be the 12th month in a row that it has declined. Consumers are trying to restore their balance sheets, and are making progress, but still have a long way to go
Potential Positive Surprises
Historically the best indicators of firms likely to report positive surprises are a recent history of positive surprises and rising estimates going into the report. The Zacks Rank is also a good indicator of potential surprises. While normally firms that report better-than-expected earnings rise in reaction, that has not been the case so far this quarter. Some of the companies that have these characteristics include:
Arena Resources (ARD) is expected to report EPS of $0.35, up from $0.27 per share a year ago. Last time out, ARD posted a positive surprise of 19.2%, and over the last month the mean estimate for its fourth quarter earnings is up 5.53%. ARD has a Zacks #1 Rank.
Big Lots (BIG) is expected to report EPS before non-recurring items of $1.29, up from $1.00 a year ago. In the 3Q, BIG posted a positive surprise of 50.0% and over the last month, the consensus estimate for its 4Q earnings is up 4.34%. BIG is a Zacks #1 Ranked stock.
Costco (COST) is expected to earn $0.71 per share this year, up from $0.65 a year ago. In the third quarter, the company posted a 1.69% positive surprise. Over the last month the mean estimate for the 4Q is up 0.46%. COST holds a Zacks #2 Rank.
Potential Negative Surprises
Arcsight (ARST) is expected to post $0.16 a share, an improvement over the $0.11 a share a year ago. Last time they reported 12.50% expectations. For this Zacks #4 Ranked stock, analysts have cut the estimates for this quarter slightly over the last month by 0.89%.
Churchill Downs (CHDN) looks like a losing bet. It is expected to lose $0.18 a share this quarter, which is an improvement over the $0.26 they lost a year ago. They had a negative surprise of 68.0% last time out, and analysts have cut their estimates for this quarter by 12.9% over the last month. The stock holds a Zacks #4 Rank.
U.S. Concrete (RMX) is expected to report a loss of $0.31, an improvement over the loss of $0.34 last year. Last quarter they reported 50.0% short of expectations. Over the past month, analysts have cut the estimate for this Zacks #4 Ranked stock by 5.14.

Day trade software is a good tool to have at your disposal if you’re new to investing or simply don’t have the time to devote towards analytics. If you’re unfamiliar with this technology, these are programs which analyze stock behavior to find overlaps and sniff out upswings in current stocks. There are a number of different programs on the market today, this is a review of what is likely the best day trade software out there right now.
Day Trading Robot is currently the best day trade software available for a number of reasons. Most of this is in the way that it forms its picks. This system primarily sticks to penny stock picks, meaning that most all of the picks which it generates are penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally safer, lower risk investments as a whole. This is because they are typically very cheap, enabling you to scoop up hundreds of thousands of shares for next to nothing. And it’s quite common for these stocks to double or triple in value easily over a short period of time, enabling you to make a lot of money in short bursts before getting out.
For example, in my first week with the system, the first pick which Day Trading Robot generated for me was a stock which was valued at 15 cents a share. I bought a thousand shares or so, so I only ended up spending about $150. At logging into my online trade account 2 days later, I found that that stock had shot up to 31 cents. It continued to climb and by the end of the 4th day it topped off at 48 cents a share. I more than tripled my initial investment, ending with near $500. This is a slightly above average example of the experiences which I’ve continued to have with Day Trading Robot since purchasing it on a whim some 4 or 5 months ago.
This is the best day trade software for anyone who is either new or struggling to make some real money in the stock market. All of the hard work is done for you, so all you’ve got to do is enact the recommended picks using an online trade account, and that’s it. No emotions or guesswork plays into your trades, and you don’t have to sacrifice the anxiety or time of your life analyzing hours upon hours of market data yourself.
If you’re not convinced or are still understandably skeptical about the ability of the best day trade software to deliver you the key to your financial independence.
You don’t even have to risk a cent of your own money to see these stocks pay out. You can simply follow along with the best day trade software picks and watch them quickly gain.

The first step in buying stock is making a decision on the type of organization you want to buy your stocks from. It is important to realize that you can buy stocks from any corporation that is held publicly. By this, we mean that the public has some control over the corporation.
You should not buy stocks from a closely-held corporation or a privately-held corporation, because these will either be controlled by an individual’s small group or run by family members and close friends.
It is very fortunate that large companies that deal in stocks are usually publicly held, and that you can make the decision of buying from them. When you are selecting the company you want to invest in, ascertain that it is in an industry that is strong.
Another thing that you should be sure of is that the company you are investing in has good growth. Let us use the example of the Coca Cola Company: this is a large enterprise which is rated the strongest in the industry of soft drinks. Because of the above factors, Coca Cola Company came to be rated as one of the best investments for the purposes of stock buying.
It is not that easy to find companies that are new and that can be relied on to give rapid growth (thereby yielding profits more quickly). Neither is it an easy task to choose a company to invest in. However, there are different methods that you can apply in settling on a company in which you would like to make a stock buying investment.
Analyzing the fundamentals is one of the methods that should be used. This means you (or someone appointed by you) will study a company’s current management and its position in the market. Another way is to conduct a technical analysis.
This analysis is wholly based on charts which enable you to identify the company’s trends, and – if they are positive trends - that will give you the thumbs up for buying stock and investing accordingly.
The other popular method that most people follow is to throw darts at the stocks page. However, after you have made your decision as to the company you want to invest in, you need to find yourself a good broker to do the stock buying and selling for you.
For those who have no idea what a stock broker is, a broker is a person who is authorized to make orders for stock buying and selling.
Every firm has got two types of brokers in their organization. The first kind of broker is a stock broker; he normally does the research on investments, helps with goal making, and gives advice on when it is the right time for stock buying.
On the other hand you will also come across discount brokers who do not offer any kind of advice on stock buying nor do they do any research; they are simply middle men in a stock buying transaction. This means that they only relay with the floor brokers when you assign them an order.

Are you sure you know what undervalued stocks really are and how these stocks work?
An undervalued stock is a stock that is selling lower than what its intrinsic financial value should be. It is actually a company’s strategic way to attract potential investors, because these undervalued stocks have, in fact, a higher cash flow potential than the true value of the stocks.
Did you know that companies that offer undervalued stocks have many assets?
· These companies usually do not deal with high technology, which can become outdated overnight.
· These companies did not suffer losses due to recessions.
· They are not involved in financial scandals.
· They have a stable earnings past.
· An excellent stock at a good price will more likely be undervalued when compared with a poor stock at a low price.
Investing in undervalued stocks is an excellent choice, and these days, some potentially winning stocks are available on the stock market. So how can we find these stocks?
How to find winning undervalued stocks:
Although purchasing undervalued stocks is a great strategy for reaping good profits from the market, the stocks are actually difficult to find. You really need a good strategy and some tangible inside information.
To find your winning undervalued stocks, you should start by analyzing metrics, such as price-to-book values. This analysis will help you get a clearer picture of which stocks or fields will most likely offer a better performance in the long run, although they are now considered undervalued stocks.
This price-to-book ratio (P/B) will tell you how much the investors are prepared to pay for individual company stocks. You will be looking at the ratio values; thus, a stock with a high ratio will be the more expensive one.
Before you invest in undervalued stocks, you need to conduct some serious technical analysis.
· When you have an idea about an undervalued stock that you intend to buy, examine the company’s balance sheet closely. If the company has management problems, avoid investing in those stocks!
· Check the company’s profit to earnings (P/E) ratio, which is very important and will give you the true value of the undervalued stock you are interested in. When the P/E of desired stocks is lower than those of other companies in the same field, then you probably have winning stocks at hand.
Be warned: never stop at the market’s charts. When looking for undervalued stocks, you need to fully analyze the sector or you will be losing money.
How do you invest in undervalued stocks?
Information is available from a multitude of websites and companies that offer precious tips online if you want to find winning undervalued stocks. These sites provide news on financial and trading markets that offer fully detailed reports on the stocks available.
You can also choose your undervalued stocks by a winning strategy, such as a stock-picking robot system. This system will pick out the undervalued stocks for you.
The best advice when investing in undervalued stocks is to follow all the above advice for a full-proof winning strategy.

Small time investors today consider investing in cheap stocks as an option for starting slow due to the investors’ lack of initial capital. However, this does not always mean that the growth from these cheap stocks will be slow as well. These cheap stocks often bring forth some amazing returns that often come as a surprise to the buyer.
Most of these stocks are available off the market. This is not common knowledge but there are plenty of markets today that offer what you might call “penny stocks.” These markets do not handle large amounts of investments per stock; however, they do include significant number of risks in them.
There are certain things that you should know before you go ahead with your purchase of cheap stocks. Cheap stocks are usually available to you at $10 or even less.
As cheap as these stocks might sound, because of the significant number of risks that are inherently involved in making investments, you still need to do your homework before you buy so that you can make those surprise returns and bonus outcomes.
One of the most important things that you need to check is the company that is selling these cheap stocks. Check out whether these companies have been in the market for a while and how long these companies have been in business.
This information is important because many companies have been in business for a long time before they make their stocks available. Having this knowledge is significant because you can then assess whether the companies that have entered the market with cheap stocks are reliable or not.
A company that enters the market and does not have a credible background is probably not as reliable as a company that has been in business for a long time and then gone public. A company that has been in the market for a while will probably continue on the same path of growth when compared to a random company that pops up on the market.
Buying cheap stocks is like shopping in a thrift store. There are people who would tell you that dealing with cheap stocks are complete waste of time.
However, you will be missing some great deals if you do not consider investing in these cheap stocks. Some rare diamonds are hiding among the lot in the market; use your knowledge and your inquisitiveness to seek out these diamonds.
You should be sure you know what you are getting yourself into before you invest in these cheap stocks. This one piece of information makes all the difference in your profit or loss. Try to find the reason these stocks are cheap.
With the right information at hand, you can identify the potential and strike a good deal that is free of risk, one that will bring you good returns.

Everyone wants to invest his or her hard-earned money and get huge benefits as returns on the invested money. But are we all getting the returns that we expect? Most of us are disappointed seeing the kind of returns we receive.
Even so, buying stocks is still considered to be the best investment plan available now.
How to buy stocks that can be real value for our invested money? What is the best method for buying stocks that are always on high in value and demand? There are no hard and fast rules when buying stocks.
All you need is a little knowledge about stocks. You need to know what they are and how they help you in being a part of the company the stock represents.
Is buying stocks easy?
Buying stocks is easy, as you can either get help from a share trader or broker, or purchase them through some banks. Managing the portfolio is what makes the job difficult.
You must know when to buy stocks, and when to sell them or hold them for future sales. Buying stocks needs a clear vision and proper planning. Financial consultants are available to help you buy stocks at the right time.
Financial managers maintain your portfolio and help you to stay relaxed while they manage the buying stocks or selling them. They do charge a fee for their services; therefore, if you can’t afford having your own financial planner, you have to take all of the risks and stress of looking after your portfolio.
If you know the nuances of trading, it is easy to buy stocks, maintain them and sell them for a huge profit.
Online help buying stocks
Try to get all the information that you can from online resources before buying stocks. It is best to participate in online forums that discuss topics about buying stocks.
Check the company’s profile, its balance sheets and income and loss reports provided on its corporate portal, and research the stock’s performance over the years. Once you like the information you find, you are ready to buy that company’s stocks.
Buying stocks through brokers will leave a pinch in your wallet in the form of service fees. Always choose the right stock broker who will charge you smaller fees for buying shares on your behalf.
Buying shares for the long term is always the better option than buying stocks and selling them on short notice. Many people try day-trading with stocks; most of the time, they end up losing more money than they had invested.
At the end of the day, always remember that losing some money is normal when buying stocks. You never know what will happen, when the values will change for the better or the worse. So buying stocks is a high-risk investment, which means that buying stocks for profit alone is just not possible.
If you gain money from ten stocks you buy, you will definitely lose money on one or two. This fact means that buying stocks is not for the weak-hearted. Emotionally strong people who can control their emotions can buy stocks and trade them, and still come out ahead.

This is My Day Trading Robot Review
Posted In: Stock Market
Day Trading Robot is one of many stock picking programs on the market today. The major difference between it and other programs is the fact that it only targets cheap stocks. Considering that this is one of the most popular programs for predicting stock behavior, especially amongst day traders given the emphasis on cheaper stocks, I was interested and curious to say the least considering the profit potential.
Using their full money back guarantee, I decided to test the program first hand. After 3 months of testing this program’s picks, here are my results.
First a little about how Day Trading Robot works. Like most stock picking systems out there, this system uses mathematical algorithms to analyze real time market data, sifting through it looking for profitable trading opportunities. This particular system is based on 23 trading techniques which look at successful trends in the past, looks into the factors which led to that trend being formed, and then look for similar patterns in current market data. Once they find similarities in up to date market data, they investigate further. If Day Trading Robot finds what it deems to be a profitable and guaranteed money making trend, it emails you accordingly so that you can trade accordingly.
I’ve never used any stock picking software in the past because I believed that if it were that easy to dominate the market, everyone would be doing it. After years of people asking me if I had ever tried any systems like this, I suppose part of me figured I could give them a definite answer after using what many websites are hailing as the best day trading system available today.
Well, I signed up for the members list and received my first stock pick shortly after. I signed up for a practice trading account so that I could not only track my results but see the profits (or losses) in my account first hand. I bought $1000 worth of shares of the first recommended penny stock (it primarily deals in penny stocks), logged out and left it alone, and the following day I logged in to find that that $1000 had turned into $1600 overnight. I was shocked and sold it off to collect my virtual gains so that I could invest in the next pick.
I’ve also found Day Trading Robot to be ideal in today’s economy. Because of the ailing market, many stocks have bottomed out or are close to bottoming out, meaning that if you can identify those which are poised to turn around, you can buy at the lowest that many of these stocks have ever been and ride them back to the top as they recover. Day Trading Robot is incredibly adept at distinguishing the failing from the ready to turn around.
I continue to use Day Trading Robot today and attribute its success to the fact that it relies exclusively on real time market data and sophisticated and ever evolving algorithms rather than any amount of guesswork or emotions which other traders unfortunately base their picks on. Because all of the heavy lifting is done for you, all you’ve got to know o be able to do to be successful in this market with this artillery is enact trades using an electronic online trading account.
I wholly suggest that you don’t take my word on this if you’re still understandably skeptical about this system’s ability to help you achieve your financial independence. As I briefly touched on, Day Trading Robot comes with an iron clad, 60 day full money back guarantee.
Try Day Trading Robot risk free for 60 days, you won’t regret it.
