Quote from romik: SHORT - IPG (NYSE) Interpublic Grp of Cos Hedge: Buy 75 Oct $10.00 Calls @ 0.25 Current: $9.83 Average down: ~$10.17 PT1: $9.10 PT2: $8.00 PT3: N/A Stop: ~$10.30 BRD in HIST on a daily chart attached, but daily chart is in an uptrend with a possible double bottom in the mid $7 range. Possible reward outweighs risk here. I would say that this could be a risky trade when looking on the daily chart. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=IPG -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Position covered $10.32 -3.2% adjusted after averaging @ $10.17 Oct 10 calls remain open. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75 Oct 2006 10 calls sold @ $0.50 for 100% profit.

Thanks, seemed to work out alright. I ignored the weekly chart on IPG which is bullish and went against the bigger wave by making a trade decision of a daily chart. Whether it was luck or not, I just don't know, but will apply this same tactics on all other positions.
LONG - SLR (NYSE) Solectron Corp Hedge: Buy 200 Jan 2007 $2.50 Puts @ $0.10 Current: $3.18 Average down: ~$2.90 PT1: $3.70 PT2: $4.30 PT3: $6.50 Stop: ~$2.50 BLD in MACD/RSI on the weekly chart. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SLR
I am thinking that is a very smart hedge looking at the 5 year chart. If it does break through support it should freefall for a bit. Gary
Alright bud , does look like a bear flag there doesn't it? It just might be a triple BLD, by that time if 2.81 support breaks the puts should start coming alive the closer price gets to $2.50 strike, if that does develop into a triple BLD on a weekly I will reevaluate the situation and will either continue holding in light of increased options value or dump it all. I've got no idea how Jan 07 puts might be priced when/if price breaks $2.50, but current $2.50 calls are around $0.65.
