Hello, 10-Minute Millionaires!
This week, I'm in Scotland - pictures and videos will be forthcoming!
When I get back, I'll be making a brand-new "Money Lab" recommendation for my 10-Minute Millionaire Insiders, with a detailed "quick hit" trade and a video that walks you through exactly how to make it.
As you know, the trade videos are a new, exciting development - but I've been making very profitable options recommendations in 10-Minute Millionaire Insider for a long time (since back when we called it "10-Minute Millionaire Pro"). (Click here to get a look at our track record.)
So today, I wanted to show you exactly how that works - based on a series of options wins we made on a great semiconductor stock earlier this year.
All these numbers are 100% real, and you'll even be able to see the exact options tickers and trade instructions I used.
And you'll be able to get a real feel for how we use the "Money Lab" to make double- and triple-digit gains... so you're all ready for our next trade.
P.S. The stock I'm about to show you is one of our oldest and most profitable friends, and I'm planning on getting back into it soon...
I'm going to show you my original trade alerts here, set up in order, for two separate trades in Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC). The story begins on Jan. 11 of this year, when we opened up our first position in Intel. And it serves as a perfect object lesson for how to score big "Money Lab" wins, even in imperfect market conditions.
How to Set Up a Triple-Digit Options Trade
TRADE 1, Part 1: Spot the Pullback
In the strong market conditions we've seen recently, we've also witnessed a very normal phenomenon - profit taking in strong sectors.
That's exactly what has happened in the semiconductor world.
And the world's largest semiconductor company by sales has been the leader on the way up, with a huge drive up in the fourth quarter of last year and then a pullback on profit taking early this year.
I don't need to blather on about Intel as a company. It continues to be the sales and technology leader in the semiconductor world.
And its recent disclosure of a security flaw in its processors, which pushed the stock back down to a mid-term extreme, has given us a chance to buy this juggernaut on sale.
When I last recommended Intel in my Stealth Profits Trader service, we made 212.12% on the options.
I believe this trade has even bigger potential.
Here's the chart:
Actions to Take:
Buy: Intel Corp. (INTC) at the best available price.
Stop-loss: Apply 2% of your core capital or 5% of your speculative capital to this trade, and set your stop-loss 5% below your entry level.
For your profit-taking exit: Sell 50% of your shares when they gain 10% above your entry price, and hold the remaining shares for further guidance.
Buy: INTC Feb. 9, 2018, $45 Strike Calls (INTC180209C00045000) at the best available price.
Stop-loss: Apply 2% of your core capital or 5% of your speculative capital. Exit the trade if the price drops by 65% of the premium you paid.
For your profit-taking exit: Sell 50% of your contracts at a 100% profit, and hold the remaining contracts for further guidance.
We'll talk more about this trade setup in a future report - but I wanted to get a short note out to you today so we get in this great profit opportunity.
Just 6 days later, our efforts paid off...
TRADE 1, Part 2: Follow the Hooke Pattern to Profits
When our first options trade on BAC hit 100% in five trading days, it was easy to think that this is just one trade. But clearly, the game was far from over, as we powered through for 205% and 410% gains on the second and third profit targets.
Then our trade in INTC comes in with a 100% in six trading days. And we're closing in on 200% for our second profit target as I write this. As the '70s duo Sonny and Cher sang, "The beat goes on."
Congratulations on another great trade! Here's the follow-through chart:
Actions to Take:
SELL: If you have not already done so, sell 50% of your INTC Feb. 9, 2018, $45 Strike Calls (INTC180209C00045000) at the best available price.
Stop-loss: Move your stop to $1.25.
For your profit-taking exit: Sell the next 25% of your original contracts at $1.80 or higher and hold the remaining contracts for further guidance.
I'd love to know how you did on both of these fast-moving options plays - please send me a note with your details. I'd love to celebrate with you!

We didn't stop there. Recently, we picked up another position in INTC and - despite choppy markets - managed to sock away 34% before expiration.
How to Add In Double-Digit Profits Later

TRADE 2, Part 1: Find Another Short-Term Pullback
Markets have been in up-down-up-down mode, driven mainly by tariff-oriented news.
Any tariff relief headlines will send the markets scurrying up and will help sectors that have been down as of late.
One of those sectors that has been hit lately is semiconductors. With some analysts dropping demand projections for semiconductors, the markets have sent the sector down 10% in the last month.
And that brings us back to our good friend INTC. The world's largest chip manufacturer by sales really needs no introduction. Earlier this year, we took triple-digit gains on the options in this company.
And my analysis shows we have a high probability to do it again with today's trade.
Here's the chart:
Actions to Take:
Buy: Intel Corp. (INTC) at the best available price.
Stop-loss: Apply 2% of your core capital or 5% of your speculative capital to this trade, and set your stop-loss 5% below your entry level.
For your profit-taking exit: Sell 50% of your shares when they gain 10% above your entry price, and hold the remaining shares for further guidance.
Buy: INTC July 27, 2018, $51 Strike Calls (INTC180727C00051000) at the best available price.
Stop-loss: Apply 2% of your core capital or 5% of your speculative capital. Exit the trade if the price drops by 65% of the premium you paid.
For your profit-taking exit: Sell 50% of your contracts at a 100% profit, and hold the remaining contracts for further guidance.
Please note - long-term subscribers may still hold 50% of their shares from our last INTC trade at the beginning of the year. You may add a full position, taking your holdings up to 150% of your original share value, or just add an additional 50% to bring you back up to a full position. Make your choice based on personal risk tolerance.
TRADE 2, Part 2: Prudently Take Profits Before Earnings
Hello 10-Minute Millionaire Insiders,
Our options trade on INTC hit 100% for the first half of the contracts and 108% for the second half earlier this year.
Our current trade made it up to 98% on Wednesday and 96% this morning before pulling back without hitting our profit target!
Intel announces earnings after the market closes today, and my expectation is for strong numbers and a push up for the stock. But it's also possible that we get a negative outcome, so it's prudent to close part of the trade for a nice double-digit profit and leave only part of our contracts exposed.
Actions to Take:
SELL: Sell 50% of your INTC July 27, 2018, $51 Strike Calls (INTC180727C00051000) at the best available price.
Stop-loss: Maintain your stop loss at 65% below the price you paid on the remaining contracts.
For your profit-taking exit: Sell the remaining 50% of your original contracts at $2.70 or higher or by 1 p.m. on Friday, July 27, if the profit target has not been hit.
Please note that we need to be out of the trade before the markets close tomorrow, so if our profit target for the remaining contracts is not hit before 1 p.m., be sure to sell your remaining contracts then.
TRADE 2, Part 3: Be Thankful You Planned Ahead
Hello 10-Minute Millionaire Insiders,
Yesterday we took a gain of 34.1% on half of our INTC options.
After the close, the company reported quarterly earnings and beat expectations on all the overall metrics:
- Earnings were $1.04 per share vs. the $0.96 expected
- Revenue was $16.96 billion vs. $16.77 expected
- Revenue grew a whopping 15% year over year vs. 9% growth for the same quarter last year
- The company increased guidance for future earnings and revenue, with the annual revenue outlook being upped by more than $1 billion dollars, from $68.43 billion to $69.5 billion.
And yet the stock tanked by 6%! Why?
Data Center revenue missed expectations by $0.09 billion dollars, coming in at $5.55 billion when $5.64 billion was expected.
It's a cruel market when you do so well in executing all other phases of the business and are punished for a rather minuscule miss on one metric.
Because of the market overreaction, Intel will snap back - their overall growth and future guidance are just too good. And when we get our Hooke Pattern, we'll jump back in. That may even be later today or Monday, so keep an eye on your inbox.
But for now, we need to sell the second half of our options and close out the trade.
We'll get the best price around the open this morning while the volatility is still high.
Actions to Take:
SELL: Sell your remaining contracts of INTC July 27, 2018, $51 Strike Calls (INTC180727C00051000) at the best available price.
As you know, the "Money Lab" is just one of the ways we generate profit opportunities at 10-Minute Millionaire Insider.
We also spend a lot of time talking about income - steady streams of money from yields, dividends, and other special investment opportunities - that comes in monthly or quarterly and allows you to build up your nest egg.
Each month, I research a new potential income source for you that I call your "Monthly Paycheck Plan." And some of the stories behind these things are really wild.
As you know, I've just released a "Monthly Paycheck Plan" opportunity called "Federal Rent Checks."
It's a way to set up regular monthly checks that could potentially hit your inbox with $1,000 or more every month.
Best of all, this opportunity takes advantage of a certain IRS directive.
I've spent months researching this opportunity, and if you haven't checked it out yet, I think you'll want to.
