im holding everything atleast overnight and very comfortable with it, the perks with trading the blueist of the blue. not like the old days of my trading penny stocks, lol. thank god i learned my lessons
NICE!! Stellar returns nic
bought GE dec 29 calls for 1.36
bought intc jan 09-24 calls for 1.27
i couldnt pull the trigger on MRK, my entry for a call would be if it sells off with positive news at 30-31 ish, i was watching the oct 40's, and jan 09, 40's
diversity, diversity, diversity mental note
excellent dianne, congrats Dex...its nice to be here sharing, and nice that everyone cares enough to advise, no one knows everything..
isnt that amazing, 41 percent decline, and it goes up, lol..
sold msft calls for .85 +13percent, bought more PFE jan 09 20 calls at .66
bought PFE jan 09 20 calls at .74, bought msft aug 26 puts at .75
morning everyone, brand new week.. lets make some money
had to get some chart work, and options strategies out of the way for next week, will be looking to buy calls for msft, ge mrk, pfe, vlo, swks, have a good weekend everyone, time to relax now..
closed my GLD calls for -20 percent loss, luckily as the week went on and things became less clear and i started to chase things i used less size as opposed to the beginning of the week when i felt comfortable using max. size, all in all still a very good week, will be looking to be long refiners next week on any rallys of oil,
Ill use small to med size till i can see clearly. have a great weekend Dex, and everyone.
they are bidding up the dia 112 puts i think, without the underlying moving
closed the DIA put at 1.92 for +9 percent, iam clearly out of the zone today, and am struggling to find direction which tells me i shouldnt be trading, so iam going to limit myself to closing positions only.
Dex are you selling into this ? whats your opinion on light sweet?
i got the top of my range for the dia 114.90 ish right about where it failed, if it can close under 114.50 ish, ill hold it over the weekend.
man, im tellin ya, gotta get rid of the ego, and just cut it in half so i can think clearly with no pressure. hopefully the correct answer comes to me. just bought the DIA aug 112 puts at 1.75
sold the remainder of my msft aug 26 calls at breakeven
got rid of 1/2 of my remaining position of MSFT aug 26 calls for -15 percent loss
closed half of my msft aug 26 calls for a -16 percent loss
bought msft aug 26 calls for .75, also added to my GLD position at 1.10, average now 1.19
closed the put at .93 for +9 percent
bought msft oct 24 puts at .85
my little streak might end today.
morning everyone.
SWKS is off to the races, atleast for the next two minutes, lol..
closed my dia put for just over break even
good thing i shot small on the gld, and dia. come on SWKS, lets go..
bought the GLD 100 calls at 1.25, and bought the DIA aug 112 puts at 2.01
sold to close my GLD calls at 1.70=11%
that might be it for me today i chased that one a bit and went against my dont break rules and become emotional, stay cognitive.
i do have a position in SWKS which has earnings today, its broken out to the upside my close target is 13-15ish, its on the monthly chart which has usually worked for me, ive got calls but am not adding in this weather of a market, my daughter is cash as of yesterday, my sons still have ESLR and SWKS, good luck tonight boys..
it doesnt sound good when they say,,,their bracing for big write downs at MER..
go baby go
bought the GLD aug 100 calls at 1.52
sold MER for 1.26 i think 15%, sold WFC at 1.05 for 16%
my fingers were shaking pushing them buttons, i think my blood pressure went from 140 over 85 to 150 over 100 in about 60 seconds... i had figured the DIA to hit 11380ish before i bought my puts, but hey, let it tell me when to go..
be back in a bit, gotta go and have a coffee and regroup...
bought MER aug 25 put 1.09, and WFC aug 25 put .90
did i hear the forcast on MER correctly, estimating a -1.00+ but could be as much as a 4.00 loss????
morning, just got in, and trying to get a feel for my trading plan today. looks like my SWKS july 12.50,aug 12.50 and 15.00,
GLW aug 25 calls
NVDA aug 15 calls
YHOO july 32.50
YHOO oct 35 calls
just might be worth something afterall..
i also have crox sept 19 calls, which jussssssst might expire worthless, lol..
closed ge call at 1.32 for 3%, closed TSO breakeven, dont ask me why, but call me crazy but their not moving like i thought they would, ill buy em back cheaper i think. serves me right for buying a call with a .20 spread between bid and ask.
bought some TSO Jan 09 20 calls at 2.40
bought some GE sept 27.50 calls at 1.28, i think ill see 28, if all systems go right 28.50ish
i also have some crox call options which i would be willing to part with for a cup of coffee, lol..na, ill keep em.
and have some SWKS for about a month or so aug 15 calls at .10, and aug 12.50 calls at .20 earnings tomorrow, im holding a small position, and not adding, small enough to not hurt, out of the money enough if im right to pay some dividends. lost my train of thought, my daughter wanted a picture of a huge smiley face so she could color it in..
Dex, what did you think of my charts, did they come thru annotated?
whats with the spike in the vix on stockcharts.com? any truth in that? My plan on buying TSO fell apart, lol and oil is still heading down, im out of sink with it at the moment, besides i just added TSO and WFC to my radar and havent had the time to familiarize my self with them yet, so best to sit on my hands till then. plenty of bullets left for 10.30am if theres a reaction
ps, wow, im lookin at the spread on the options on TSO at the moment, and i hate them huge spreads
time to get some breakfast, BRB.
I might have to wait for awhile for WFC to come in a bit, its really movin today
