COST

  1. Yep. COST has been climbing steadily:

    Not my best choice for a credit spread. I exit these trades when news + chart makes me think the spread might expire ITM.

    COST has been steadily rising since earnings announcement and credit card switch on or about May 26:

    (quoted above).

    I must admit that had I foreseen the continued rise after May 26 I certainly would have exited. But I thought it would fizzle. It hasn't.

    COST is now at a resistance level set in early April. I have been holding on the theory that it would not pass this resistance point (which also set the original spread parameters).

    Sooo...I am at decision point.

    My broker shows me down $57 per contract. 57/45 = 127%. That's a lot for me.

    I still think the market needs to pull back. BREXIT tomorrow. I always hate it when I bail and the market turns the next day.

    I have no fear that I couldn't exit if I wanted to. I almost want to....Tomorrow and the next couple of days will tell.

  4. maybe you should create a trading journal instead of cluttering up this forum instead

  5. If you have something more enlightening to say... say it. I don't see any particularly insightful posts from you.

    This is an ongoing conversation between myself and optionGuru involving the wisdom of credit spreads... but out.
