The success of Egypt’s revolt is emboldening people across North Africa and the Middle East. Daily protests in Algeria, Libya, Iran, Yemen and now Bahrain, host to the US Navy’s fifth fleet, are becoming daily events with citizens demanding changes from their autocratic leaders. Read More

We sold our equity position in Qualcomm (QCOM) after the stock hit our price target, netting a gain of 9 percent in 41 days.   Silver continues to move higher, adding to our gain in the Pan American Silver (PAAS) April 35 call option. We want to see the metal close above $31.13 which would constitute a breakout. Pan American, meanwhile, remains well below its January high. A close above $36 (and we could get there today) would pave the way for a rally back to its prior highs in the low $40s. Use a limit order to buy our recommended option on a dip to $2.80 per contract if you don’t own it yet.   The strength in the oil market, with Brent North Sea crude above $102 a barrel has helped propel Halliburton’s stock higher by about a point and a half in the past week. We look for the shares to probe their highs in the near term, with a breakout quite likely. The Halliburton (HAL) April 46 call option is a buy with a limit of $2.50 or better per contract.   Adobe Systems (ADBE) has gone essentially nowhere since we added it three weeks ago, despite a decent move in broad stock market over that timeframe and even more impressive gains in the tech sector in particular. We see several points of downside risk in the stock and believe that pullback will be realized sooner rather than later. The Adobe Systems July 34 put option is a buy for new clients with a limit order set at $2.90 per contract.   Express Scripts (ESRX) is poised to release its quarterly results after the market closes on Thursday, which should act as a positive catalyst for the stock. The Express Scripts May 60 call option is a buy for new clients at its current price.   Read More
