"Best Trade" Newsletter (August 9, 2006)

For this "Best trade", "Buy Puts" trade  is opened
in order to close them later with profit if the index moves in our favor.

We expect to close "Buy Puts" trade once the SBV Oscillator drops below minus 33% and then advances back to about that level (based on NASDAQ 100 15-day SBV Oscillator chart with 240-min VMA). We will most likely buy calls at the same moment.

Below you will find a Table of Trade Motivations and a chart showing the trades, including detailed trade calculations.
