August expiration is going to be a doozy

Grab my top 6 August expiration option picks… and power-boost your profits by next Friday. [Schaeffer's Logo]( Good morning, Trader. Time is of the essence, so I'm going to get right to the point. Options are - at the most basic level - a function of volatility. [Periods of high volatility (up, down, or choppy) spell profits.]( of market tranquility are a recipe for ho-hum returns. When COVID hit, the VIX - one of the best measures for market volatility - shot through the roof. To levels not seen since the depths of the Great Recession. Since then, the VIX has calmed down some, but it's still at elevated levels. And just a small impetus could send it soaring again. For example, the heightening of geopolitical drama with China or Russia, good or bad news around inflation, or a surprise comment or talking head speculation on the Fed's next move. Any news on these fronts and the markets will react... and volatility will almost assuredly spike even higher. When volatility is at these levels, finding quick options profits is like shooting fish in a barrel. [Act Now!]( These high volatility levels have allowed us to rack up some huge gains with our Expiration Week Countdown trades. Here's just a partial list: - 200% GAINS on Schlumberger calls - 107% GAINS on American Eagle Outfitters puts - 112% GAINS on Twitter puts - 100% GAINS on Marvell Technology Group calls - 100% GAINS on Overstock.com calls - 100% GAINS on Pfizer calls - 143% GAINS on Las Vegas Sands puts - 100% GAINS on Peabody Energy calls - 100% GAINS on Macy's calls - 211% GAINS on DoorDash calls - 113% GAINS on Deere & Co. calls - 200% GAINS on Walgreens Boots Alliance puts Let's say you placed that put option recommendation on Walgreens Boots Alliance... the one that recently delivered 200% gains in just 3 days. You could've purchased 5 contracts for just $640 on Monday. By Thursday... the contract price had tripled, turning your $640 investment into $1,920. That's a quick profit of $1,280! And, as always, [you can size up your trades to supercharge your results.]( If you'd bought 10 contracts, you'd have walked away with $2,560 in profit. Or $5,120 if you'd gone in for 20 contracts. Not bad for a holding period of just 3 days... When you harness the power of volatility, you set yourself up for huge quick wins. Now, this kind of volatility can send many investors running for cover. But, for my analysts and I, [this is the stuff dreams are made of.]( Because as options traders, we can score huge wins whether the market goes up, down, or sideways. And my team and I have a fast and easy way for you to make big profits. Instead of doing the hours of research yourself or trusting the "due diligence" of random message board posters, let my team of analysts email you our 6 best trades each month - on autopilot. That's right - on the Sunday before options expiration week each month, I send out 6 trades to our Expiration Week Countdown subscribers, each targeting gains of up to 200% in 5 days or less. For August, that's tomorrow. And let me be crystal clear... my team and I have our eye on some trades that could deliver eye-popping gains by next Friday. That's right, [you'll be in and out of all 6 trades by next Friday, August 19th at the latest.]( Then you can spend the weekend counting up all your newfound profits. But you need to hurry... The early-bird slots I told you about yesterday are gone, but due to unfortunate tech issues, several folks who tried to get in were unsuccessful. To make it up to you (and everyone who missed out) I've decided to keep this offer open until 7 p.m. EST tomorrow. Meaning, that you can still get in at huge savings, with an amazing bonus... and get your first 6 trades tomorrow evening... [if you join now.]( Expiration Week Countdown is normally $1,747 per year... a fair price considering it delivers 6 potentially money-tripling trades every month. But when you sign up right now, you can get in for just $195. And as a special bonus, I'll add on an additional year to your new subscription, giving you two years' worth of access to these amazing trades... at huge savings off the regular one-year price. I can't promise I will ever offer this deal again. And I definitely can't promise that we will ever see an options week like this again in our trading lifetimes. Click the link below, and I will rush your first 6 Expiration Week Countdown trades the moment they go out tomorrow evening. [Act Now!]( Have a great weekend, Bernie Schaeffer Chairman & CEO Schaeffer's Investment Research service@sir-inc.com []( 1-800-448-2080 1-513-589-3800 International [Divider Bar] Happy Friday, Trader! Here's hoping you've got some relaxation lined up for the weekend... some quality time with family and friends. That's what weekends are for, right? But before you shut down and start the fun, I'm hoping you'll take just a few minutes to read this important message. I'll try to be brief. First of all, I am so grateful that you're part of the Schaeffer's family. It's my absolute pleasure to steer individual investors - folks just like you - toward big profits in this crazy market environment. I've been doing it for more than 41 years... and have no plans to stop any time soon. I don't know if you're active in the market right now... or if you stepped out during all the chaos since Covid-19 reared its ugly head more than 2 years ago. But what I do know is this... [All that volatility (some call it chaos) has helped options traders line their pockets time and time again...]( Because they don't care which way the markets are moving... they just want movement. They can bank mega-gains with put options as stocks drop...and they can bank super-sized profits with call options as stocks soar. The key is movement... a stagnant market is no friend of the options trader. Lord knows we've had movement... and with all the uncertainty in the world, the markets aren't going to calm down any time soon. The Fed isn't finished with rates... Covid isn't gone... and Monkeypox cases are climbing... Geopolitical drama is high, with China and Russia at the forefront. I could go on, but we can agree that market volatility is here to stay for a while. And that volatility presents an opportunity to pocket some huge gains over the next week... [It's one of the best options expiration trading setups I've seen in my 41+ years in the markets.]( That's right... expiration week trading can deliver huge gains month in and month out... but August options expiration could be one for the ages. So here's my ask of you... If you're active in the markets right now, please read on, as I'm about to reveal how you could pocket some huge gains (with real-life examples) during August options expiration week. And if you're on the sidelines, I encourage you to read on as well. It could be the perfect opportunity to dip your toe back into the market... to see how easy it is to profit from all this volatility, all in just 5 days or less. [Real-Life Expiration Week Winners]( As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Well, here it is... a small sampling of recent expiration week winners... each one opened on a Monday and closed no later than Friday. Check out the huge gains... and the short holding periods. That's the beauty of expiration week trading... and I expect August expiration to add to this list. - 200% GAINS in 2 days on Schlumberger calls - 107% GAINS in 2 days on American Eagle Outfitters puts - 112% GAINS in 3 days on Twitter puts - 100% GAINS in 3 days on Marvell Technology Group calls - 100% GAINS in 2 days on Overstock.com calls - 100% GAINS in 2 days on Pfizer calls - 143% GAINS in 4 days on Las Vegas Sands puts - 100% GAINS in 3 days on Peabody Energy calls - 100% GAINS in 2 days on Macy's calls - 211% GAINS in 4 days on DoorDash calls - 113% GAINS in 3 days on Deere & Co. calls - 200% GAINS in 3 days on Walgreens Boots Alliance puts Let's say you placed that put option recommendation on Walgreens Boots Alliance... the one that recently delivered 200% gains in just 3 days. You could've purchased 5 contracts for just $640 on Monday. By Thursday... the contract price had tripled, turning your $640 investment into $1,920. That's a quick profit of $1,280! The great thing about options is that you can size up your trades to supercharge your results. If you'd bought 10 contracts, you'd have walked away with $2,560 in profit. Or $5,120 if you'd gone in for 20 contracts. Not bad for a holding period of just 3 days... Imagine -- if you'd bought just one contract of our DoorDash 211% winner, you would've turned a $315 investment into $980... in just 4 trading days! Ten DoorDash contracts would've delivered $6,650 in profits... and 20 contracts would've put an extra $13,300 in your pocket! All in less than a single week. And if you'd grabbed a single contract of that Twitter 112% winner listed above, you would've turned $174 into $369... in just 3 trading days! Ten Twitter contracts would've delivered $1,950 in profits... and 20 contracts would've put an extra $3,900 in your pocket! Again... in less than a single week. [The key to these profits is using all this volatility to your advantage, quickly capitalizing on big moves while limiting your exposure to just a few days in the market.]( And speaking of volatility... When a volatility jump occurs near options expiration, you have a chance to score huge, quick wins. That's because you can scoop up expiring options "on-sale" - often for pennies on the dollar. Then - when volatility spikes - you can flip these options back into the market for a quick 100%, 200% profit, or more. We've been doing it for years for our Expiration Week Countdown subscribers... sending them 6 cheap options on the Sunday before option expiration and watching them cash in huge gains over and over again... always in 5 days or less. And today, [I'm inviting you to experience this strategy for yourself](. Please note... the gains I've shown you - spectacular as they are - may pale in comparison to what we see this month. Because - as I said before - August is shaping up to be anything but an "ordinary" month. Let me explain... [Circle Friday, August 19th on Your Calendar... Because August Expiration Week is Going to be a Doozy]( Any spike in volatility close to options expiry can send contracts soaring, leading to huge gains. Volatility? Close to options expiration? Just wait and see... Here are a few volatile events on our radar leading up to August options expiration, just one week from today. - China is huffy because Speaker Pelosi visited Taiwan, and Russia continues its attack in Ukraine. Geopolitical drama is at high levels... any spark could send the markets into a tizzy. - Gas prices have tempered a bit, but inflation is real and ongoing... any news (good or bad) could set markets into full-blown roller coaster mode. - Covid cases are on the rise in many areas, and Monkeypox appears here to stay... just a hint of good or bad news here, and we could see some big moves. - While the Fed won't meet this month, all it takes is a surprise comment or speculation from the talking heads to send the markets rip-roaring again. Now, I don't know how all this will play out. But I do know that any one of these is enough to send markets ripping higher OR lower in a flash. And put together, these are the ingredients for what I'm calling the "August Volatility Palooza." An unpredictable series of volatility events that could send the market soaring, tanking, or doing a wild whipsaw back and forth. This kind of volatility would have "buy and hold" investors running for cover. But for my analysts and I, [this is the stuff dreams are made of](. Because, as options traders, we can continue scoring huge wins whether the market goes up, down, or sideways. Let me put it this way... If the idea of making some BIG profits by next Friday - just one week from today - gets your adrenaline flowing, I'm about to make your day. [GET MY TOP 6 TRADES FOR THE AUGUST VOLATILITY PALOOZA]( On the Sunday before options expiration week each month, I send out 6 trades to Expiration Week Countdown subscribers, each targeting gains of up to 200% by expiration Friday. For August, that's this Sunday... just 2 short days from now. These are the same type of trades I showed you earlier... that delivered gains up to 218% in 4 days (or less)! And let me say... my team and I have our eye on some trades that could deliver eye-popping gains larger than 218% this month. You'll be in and out of all 6 trades just one week from today, Friday, August 19th at the latest. These trades take a minute or less to execute... And they're always simple buys of puts and calls.

My team will do the hard work... you simply place the trades on Monday morning, then sit back and count your profits on Friday. It's that easy. [Act Now!]( I don't recommend you try this on your own. Researching just one of these trades takes my team dozens of hours. We rigorously test each trade against historical data. We do technical analysis, calculate implied volatility, comb through analyst reports - you name it. Our team also follows exactly what the big institutional traders are doing. Because none of this matters if a whale dumps their position. We start with a large pool of potential trades... then narrow it down to just the cream of the crop... The 6 best trades poised to deliver gains of 100%, 200% or beyond... always in 5 days or less. We do this same process every month of the year for our Expiration Week Countdown subscribers.

Although there is significant profit potential associated with buying options, there is also the risk of losing one's entire investment in any individual trade. In any option buying approach, it is expected that losing trades will be more numerous than winning trades. The goal is for the average gain to be significantly greater than the average loss so that the bottom line is profitable. Prior to purchase, ensure that you have a broker that allows the trading of options and that you are approved to trade options.
