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.

If you don’t do options, buy the stock. My target for (SNOW) in 2024 is $190, up 35%.
Snowflake is at the epicenter of the revolution in artificial intelligence. It specializes in the management of massive amounts of data with the US government as a major client. Since $1 trillion is pouring into AI capital investment in 2024 I can’t think of a better stock to buy.
These particular strike prices are especially interesting since they define the bottom of a two-year range.
I am therefore buying the Snowflake (SNOW) December 2023 $135-$140 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $4.00 or best.
Don’t pay more than $4.30 or you’ll be chasing.
DO NOT USE MARKET ORDERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Simply enter your limit order, wait five minutes, and if you don’t get done cancel your order and increase your bid by 10 cents with a second order.

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.
