1. This week&#039;s ETF Report has been uploaded to your member site. Login to the member site and scroll down on the left side to access the report.

Explanation of the report format:

2. I’ve attached to premium member emails a 5-day, 3-contract collar trade with DOCU, an elite-performing stock at the time of the trade. I executed this trade on 10/26/2026, for the 11/6/2026 expiration. This is an example of a defensive approach to covered calls. DOCU closed at $83.60 today, down $1.56 from trade entry, $0.56 below breakeven.  With 7 trading days remaining until expiration, the trade’s outcome is yet to be determined, although it’s off to a negative start. Having the put in place protects me from catastrophic losses, although I am focused like a laser on exit strategies, if those opportunities are present.


3. Our loyalty pledge to you: Premium members will NEVER experience a rate hike as long as premium member subscriptions remains active … NEVER.

4. Video: Recent Quasar Markets interview:

5. The next ETF report will be posted on the weekend of November 7 – 8.


Wishing you the best results,

2. I’ve attached to premium member emails a 5-day, 3-contract out-of-the-money cash-secured put trade with ELF, an elite-performing stock at the time of the trade. I executed this trade on 10/19/2026, for the 10/23/2026 expiration. This is an example of a defensive approach to put selling. ELF closed at $113.78 today, down $0.40 from trade entry, $5.78 above the put strike and $6.44 above breakeven.  With 2 trading days remaining until expiration, I am in a comfortable position with this trade although I am always prepared for exit strategy intervention, if appropriate.

		Comment on What is the Best Delta to Select for a Defensive Cash-Secured Put Trade? by Alan Ellman		</title>

2. The new Blue Chip (Dow 30) Report for the November 2026 contracts has been uploaded to the “resources/downloads” section of the member site (right side; scroll down to “B”).


3. I’ve attached to premium member emails a 4-day, 1-contract out-of-the-money covered call trade with MSFT, an elite-performing stock at the time of the trade. I executed this trade on 10/13/2026, for the 10/16/2026 expiration. This is an example of an aggressive approach to covered calls. MSFT closed at $533.69 today, down a whopping $14.94 from trade entry, as the entire tech sector was slammed after the disturbing CPI (inflation) report. I plan to hold this stock in my portfolio despite the share price decline and am grateful for the $315 in premium I generated yesterday. With 2 trading days remaining until expiration, I am prepared to initiate exit strategy maneuvers, perhaps rolling down, depending on how the market opens tomorrow.

4. Our loyalty pledge to you: Premium members will NEVER experience a rate hike as long as premium member subscriptions remains active … NEVER.
