Small Time Trading

[benchman]

Account value up over $2,100 today. Main contributors were KODK and RELYQ.

My sells of the KODK shares today really helped the account. The stock had closed at $8.40 yesterday, and I sold all of my shares above $9 today. My final sale at $9.40 was great, since the HOD was $9.45.

KODK closed up .80 to $9.20 today. This drove my puts down to 5 cents. I still think KODK will fall to at least $5, but will it happen in time for expiration on the 19th is the question. The markets are closed Monday, so there are only four trading days left before then.

RELYQ was up .0623 to .55. I sold 1/2 at .53. I had the other 1/2 up at .59, but pulled the order when TDA screwed me out of a fill (what else is new). The stock eventually hit .60, so I would have filled at .59 later on. We'll see next week if pulling the order was the right decision.

ESV closed up .07 to $7.43, and broke resistance at $7.50 earlier in the day. That being said, the stock is having a hard time pushing up due to technical reasons. Oil was up another 1% today.

TMPS was down .02 to .16.

MAAFF was unchanged with no volume.

The account is now about $7,400 away from it's record high set in June 2016 (yes it's been that long).

That's it. Have a great long weekend everyone!
