Last week was a great one for the market (SPY up 2.6%) and an even better one for the Terry’s Tips 8 actual option portfolios. Every one made gains, and the composite average picked up 11%, a record we are quite proud of.

Last week was an awful one for the market. SPY fell 4% after whip-sawing both up and down all week. Most option portfolios probably suffered as well. We were delighted that our newest portfolio which trades options on MSFT notched a gain of 20.4% for this otherwise bad week for the market. Chalk up another victory for well-executed option strategies.

Can PayPal (PYPL) Continue It’s Earnings-Driven Momentum?
PayPal received a recent boost from it’s earnings report and these Seeking Alpha articles suggest it can continue the upside momentum – PayPal: It’s A Buy and It’s Not Too Late To Buy PayPal.
Payal appears to be supported near the $83 price point which was where the stock gapped up to following their earnings report earlier this month. The 20 and 50-day moving averages are converging in this area as well to offer further technical support. In the event of a dip lower, further support near the psychological $80 handle is likely to trigger strong buying as technical traders often look to position following a gap close.

Will Dollar General Power to Record Highs?
DG is one of the few stocks on the IBD Top 50 list that is on the verge of breaking to record highs. These two articles may help to explain what the driving force behind the momentum is Can Continued Growth Fuel Dollar General Corporation To Reach New Levels? and Sturdy Comps, Better Pricing to Propel Dollar General’s Sales
Technical strength in DG is seen best via correlation when looking at growth stocks and US equity indices.

DG ended the past week holding support near 109 and shows further support from a strong confluence found just above 107.

This week we are looking at another of the Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) Top 50 List companies. We use this list in one of our options portfolios to spot outperforming stocks and place option spreads that take advantage of the momentum. The actual Terry’s Tips portfolio that trades most of these ideas started out 2018 with $5000. Along the way, we withdrew the entire $5000 from the portfolio so subscribers who were following it would have all their money back and be playing with their profits. The portfolio is now worth $4980 which is pretty darn close to doubling their money in nine months. Other portfolios we conduct for paying subscribers have done better, but we are proud of this one as well.

The actual Terry’s Tips portfolio which trades essentially every weekly play that we send to you has gained 91% so far this year (after paying all commissions, of course). The portfolio started out the year with $5000, and on June 15, 2018, we withdrew $5000 from the portfolio so that all subscribers who followed it would all their money back and be playing with pure profits. The portfolio is now worth $4552.
I especially like this week’s idea because I like Mastercard and believe that last week’s weakness in the stock price was unwarranted. Enjoy the full report below.
