Statistically, August is one of the tougher months for the markets, as you can plainly see from the chart below. And in this first week, the markets are behaving as expected, with a weakness that’s been especially felt in the tech sector.

The War Room is in expert hands, though. Bryan, Karim and George are steering our ship through the stormy markets, picking up at least one win a day on average and teaching all our new deckhands a thing or two about trading like a pro.

Tricks of the Trade!

While the markets haven’t been fantastic this past week, our tactician’s navigational skills certainly have.

Take our earnings trade on FSLR, for example – we sold our puts late last week and then held on to the calls until this Monday.

Sure, like most services, we could have put in the minimal effort and just closed both legs at the same time, walking away from the table at just about breakeven, maybe even with a loss. Heck, that’s August, right?!

Not in The War Room.

Instead, Bryan waited patiently and kept his eye on the charts, closing the calls only when they moved in the right direction.

The very next day, Bryan found another opportunity to show off his trading prowess. Some members were concerned with the health of our CAT position early on, but again Bryan demonstrated the power of patience. His understanding of support levels were the difference between a winning trade and a losing one.

On Wednesday we saw yet another example of Bryan practicing what he preaches. Our SWBI calls ticked up nicely, and we pocketed gains again on the firearms producer.

Look at the chart for that play:

Bryan perfectly called the “W” move and then closed calls for profits as the “M” was taking shape, a clear illustration of what he’s tracking on a minute-by-minute basis.

In just the first three days of the week, members got a crash course on why understanding concepts like support levels, “W” and “M” patterns, and multilegged trades can make all the difference between a winner and a loser.

Many members, like Donald S., appreciate the wealth of knowledge our tacticians are able to leverage on their behalf.

Thanks, Bryan. This is the kind of info I’m going to thrive on as a Newbie. Same goes for you, Karim. WR has the lock on options trading that I’ve never seen in 40+ years as an investor. Keep up the good work!

Big Buyouts and Overnight Wins

On Tuesday, one of Karim’s favorite picks, Translate Bio (TBIO) hit it big, with a buyout offer from Sanofi sending shares soaring. If you still had shares from when he first recommended the stock last July, you’re looking at a 100% gain!

Not to be outdone, Bryan locked in a fantastic overnight gain on FireEye (FEYE) to close out the week on Friday.

First, on Thursday afternoon he laid out what he expected to happen based on past results…

Then, on Friday morning before the market opened, Bryan reviewed the actual outcome…

Once the market opened, Bryan sealed the deal and nailed another overnight double to the board!

This led to many War Room members reaping profits right before heading into the weekend…
