Case Study: Apollo Group (APOL)

In the spring of 2007, Apollo was basically a "forgotten company" -- Wall Street had no interest. But on June 21, all hell broke loose, as options volume soared in the July 50, July 55 and August 50 calls.

Our Radar Alert, of course, blared immediately. And after our usual number-crunching and on-the-ground sleuthing, we made our move. By July 3, the stock had moved from $49 to $58, and by November the stock was north of $80 a share.

And here's the really big money: August 50 Call buyers earned 275% profits; July 50 Call buyers banked 420% gains; and July 55 Call buyers broke the bank with a 744% return -- all by July 3, in just 8 trading days!
