Ok, missed a post yesterday where I bought 10 35.00 puts to turn my bull put into a bear put (debit) spread. Turned out to be a pretty good move...
Good runup today. I bought 10 Apr 30 puts under my 32.50s as insurance at .35 each. I now am in a bull-put spread again. Now, let's hope for a...
Typo - my puts were sold for 1.50, not .90. Big difference there.
Well, lost my ass thsi month. Down to 13,500. Easy come, easy go. Selling my insurance was stupid. That cost me another 750. Another lesson...
Scalp play. Bought my 37.50s for a nickel and sold 10 Mar 35s for .40. With this thing being pegged right on 35 (or higher), this should be a...
Some paper published info that Intel plans to put an all out price war on to smash AMD - the same type of article that made the stock drop from 38...
Lol - good spec play. Too bad I was asleep and lost .50 a share in profits - lol. Now, my position is stable. I've lost $650 or so on AMD...
Speculative play Picked up another 35 35 Mar puts for .25 and put a limit sell on them at .50. Trying for a quick grand on the down pressure...
Thank you volatility and option pegging. 1 day later and we're now sitting back on ATM w/1 week till expiration. Rally, rally! :) Seriously...
Lol - Care to donate some antacid to the help me ride out AMD fund? :)
Fighting myself here. I currently have a losing trade on my hands - but just barely. I have hedged 1/2 my potential profits away, but those...
Dear lord - so much for being well set. My hedges are keeping me at minimal losses though. I'm gonna have to study the charts a bit to see if I...
Stupid TXN and INTC :) And yet, we're still holding the 38s. I'm well hedged now and have both the 37.50 pegging and the 50 day to support me....
Lol - my stop is coming up shortly. I'm just not too happy about it. I like losing money you know? :)
Purchased a partial hedge of 5 Mar 35.00 puts for .30. If we drop down to the 50MA, I'll probably drop this trade for a small loss.
Motion sickness :) Remember that greed post? Remember how I was going to watch for a 40 entry? This is why we wait and watch. My position is...
Could be - but right now the techincals still bare out my strategy here. BTW, I am also watching the following stocks for a March scalp or...
Greed is starting to kick in here. Greed is good right? Lol AMD is now approaching the top of its latest channel. It broke through to the...
And in typical trader fashion, I hedge and the hedge to a spread and it becomes un-necessary. Oh well, I'm well in the money for my troubles :)
Thanks for the well wishing. My take on volatility vs risk: My trading account for now is a small part of my overall strategy. I am still...
