I'm not in love with the stock at these prices. Just playing a trend leading up to earnings.
You ever sold a put? More of a win win if you really like the stock..doesn't hit your strike? Bonus..u get to buy it below where you thought it might go.. Something to think about..
Noob Options Trader here. Recently purchased 2 may 180 calls @ $830/call for LNKD. Now wanting to limit my risk. Thinking about selling 2 May 200 calls for $700/call. 1st of all, does this sound like a good plan? 2nd, am I correct in saying that if LNKD closes at 200 on expiration, I would make $1,870/call?
TIA for putting up with me (no pun intended)

Can it continue to recover based on this news?

Fannie Mae (formally, the Federal National Mortgage Association) has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 by the March 18, 2013 filing deadline due to the need for additional time to analyze whether conditions existed as of December 31, 2012 that would require Fannie Mae, under generally accepted accounting principles, to release any portion of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2012. The release of the valuation allowance would have a material impact on the company’s 2012 financial statements and result in a significant dividend payment to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the terms of the Variable Liquidation Preference Senior Preferred Stock, Series 2008-2.
If we conclude the valuation allowance should not be released in the fourth quarter of 2012, we will continue to evaluate the need for the valuation allowance in future periods. The valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets was $64.1 billion as of December 31, 2011 and $61.5 billion as of September 30, 2012.
-2-
Regardless of the decision to release or not release the valuation allowance, we expect to report significant net income for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with a net loss of $2.4 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and a net loss of $16.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011.
