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.

There is a new theme in the post-election market. Falling interest rates are out, deregulation is in.
There is no more regulated industry than financials, as many of you in the industry already know. Any lightening of the burden flows straight to the bottom line. It also opens up new business for (BAC) in that antitrust is out the window.
I am therefore buying the Bank of America (BAC) December 2024 $41-$44 in-the-money vertical Bull Call debit spread at $2.60 or best.
Don’t pay more than $2.70 or you’ll be chasing on a risk/reward basis.
Only use a limit order. DO NOT USE MARKET ORDERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Just enter a limit order and work it.
If you live in a foreign time zone when the US stock market is closed, such as Australia, or don’t want to sit in front of a screen all day, simply enter a spread of Good-Until-Cancelled orders overnight, like $2.60, $2.65, and $2.70. You should get done on some or all of these.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don’t execute the legs individually, or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
