Shaw Group (SGR) Profits

January 08, 2009

Dear Fellow Options Traders,

On Nov. 26, we recommended buying the Shaw Group (SGR) April 15-25 bull-call spread for $3.60 or better in reaction to strong option signals, in advance of the Obama infrastructure spending plans and on attractive valuation.

Today, SGR reported better-than-expected earnings and is now trading above $25 per share. Additionally, Obama has outlined his initial thoughts for as much as $1 trillion of infrastructure spending.

The bull-call spread position responded as we had expected and it is now time to harvest the profits. Thus, we recommend closing the SGR April 15-25 (SGRDC/SGRDE) bull-call spread for $6.60 or better.

Have a great day trading.
