Entry Alert - Mini-sized DOW

8/31/2008 5:09:38 PM

Greetings, J.E.D.I.

Welcome to The J.E.D.I. Trader.

To learn more about my Stocks, Options & Options on Futures Trading Service, click here.

This e-mail is to alert you that our sell to open one (1) Mini-Sized Dow 11,600 Call Option (Ticker Symbol: YMU811,600C) at $231.00 went unfilled on Monday, August 25, 2008 and that my stance has not changed regarding the Mini-Sized Dow Index. I am bearish as long as this index remains below the 13,000 level. And as long as the Mini-Sized Dow Index remains below 13,000, I will be looking to sell the calls or buying the puts on this index.

With that, place an order to sell one September 2008 11,600 Call Option at a limit price of $178.00.

Last Price for the Mini-Sized Dow Futures Index as of August 29, 2008: $11,541.00

Breakeven Point:

The breakeven point for selling one September 2008 Mini-Sized Dow 11,600 Call Option at $178.00 limit on Tuesday, September 2, 2008 is $11,772.80 (assuming you get filled at $178.00). That is, this position will begin to lose money if the Mini-Sized Dow closes above $11,772.80 at expiration. (178x5 minus (12.99x2 commissions) divided by 5 tick size + 11,600)

Note: If the September 2008 Mini-Sized Dow 11,600 Call Option closes below 11,600 at expiration (September 19, 2008), you will be able to keep the option premium of $864.02. (178x5 minus (12.99x2 commissions))

Note: Place an order to buy to open one (1) September 2008 Mini-Sized Dow 12,050 Call Option (YMU812,050C) at the limit price "only if" the Mini-Sized Dow Futues Index price closes at or above 11,800 for three consecutive days on noticeably higher than normal volume.
