I told you so! Aside from saying CASH!!! 9 times in the morning post (and 3 more in our Live Member Chat Room during the day) , we laid out a perfect hedge on the Nasdaq using the Ultra-Short (SQQQ) that will now be over $8,000 in the money off our $1,100 outlay with another $8,000 to gain if the Nasdaq gets any worse – not bad for a day's work, right? Actually, the real money was made in the evening, as my last trade idea for our Members in Live Chat ( 3:19 pm ) was : Into the close I kind of like shorting Nikkei Futures ( /NKD) at 17,530 as long as it stays below 17,550. If we go down – they'll go down but if we go up, they are already up and I doubt the pop so fast as you can't stop out. Obviously, if AAPL earnings are good – get out. As you can see on the /NKD chart, we nailed the move and caught a 230-point drop to the 17,300 line for a $1,150 per contract gain. We'll be doing one of our World famous Live Trading Webinars this afternoon ( 1pm, EST ) where, among other things, we teach the fine points of Futures trading. In last week's Webinar ( replay available here ), we left off with 11 short oil contracts ( /CL ) at $43.54 and 3 short S&P ( /ES ) contracts at 2,101 and the S&P fell to 2,080 the next day (21st) for a $3,150 gain and oil hit our goal at $43 for a $5,940 gain . This morning, we shorted oil again at the $45 line, but with tight stops above as we're wary of the inventory report at 10:30. Futures trading is how we amuse ourselves at Philstockworld, as we're not day traders and long-term trades – if done properly – are BORING! Our Long-Term Portfolio, however, is not boring at all – closing out yesterday up 94%, though we'll take a little hit on Apple (AAPL) this morning. Speaking of AAPL, the details are on our main page but …
