When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

We’ve caught a home run here, capturing 95% of the maximum potential profit at today’s prices. The risk/reward of continuing is no longer favorable, so I am going to cash in. (PYPL) shares have risen virtually every day since we added this position.
Therefore, I am selling the PayPal (PYPL) April 2019 $90-$95 in-the-money vertical BULL CALL spread at $4.97 or best. If you can’t get this price, then run it until the April 18 option expiration when you can.
By coming out here, you get to earn $1,311, or 13.63% in 12 trading days. Well done and on to the next trade.
This was a bet that PayPal (PYPL) would not trade below $95 by the April 18 option expiration in 22 trading days.
If you bought the stock outright, keep it. (PYPL) is going higher.
(PYPL) easily has a double in it over the next three years. It is rapidly gaining market share in the burgeoning Internet cloud at the expense of legacy banks.
I have another six stocks like this that I will be issuing trade alerts for the next time the market gives us a substantial dip.
