Now we're on schedule!
Our last Top Trade Review was for the 2nd half of 2024 and we did that on Jan 12th as we closed out 2024 with 36 winners (76%) and 16 losers for a net gain of $165,421 on the year and, of course, Jan 12th is an arbitrary date given what are usually 2-year trade ideas and, with 36 trade ideas already on track - we are well on our way to collecting a good portion of the remaining $284,455 in upside potential that remained.
But now, we have a whole new block of trades to check up on:

Top Trade Alerts are the Trade Ideas we feel have the highest probability of being successful each month. Sometimes there are a few, sometimes there are none – the most important thing is picking the RIGHT trades – not the “right now” trades, which is a trap most stock pickers fall into. Here's how our 2025 trade ideas are performing so far:
Jan 2nd 2025 – Johnson and Johnson (JNJ):
Debt is only $6Bn so yes, great time to get in and, for the Butterfly Portfolio, we should:
-
-
-
- Sell 10 JNJ 2027 $140 puts for $12 ($12,000)
- Buy 20 JNJ 2027 $130 calls for $25.40 ($50,800)
- Sell 17 JNJ 2027 $150 calls for $14.25 ($24,225)
- Sell 5 JNJ April $145 calls for $6.10 ($3,050)
- Sell 5 JNJ April $145 puts for $6 ($3,000)

That’s net $8,525 on the $40,000 spread that’s $30,000 in the money to start with $31,475 (369%) upside potential.
