earnings have been very good to me so far. CAT was up almost 3% yesterday (still have a little work to do to breakeven) KMB was up 4% after earnings and I sold entire position COH is up 10% today deciding what I will do, think I will continue to hold to 60 like originally planned and look to sell a call at the 60 strike just waiting for AFL and OXY reports tomorrow and thursday, respectively.
just sold a may 18 call on TGT strike 70 @ 0.84. TGT goes ex div on may 13 for 0.36 so I look at this call as $1.2. also trying to figure out how the dow dropped 220 points and recovered in the span of 3 minutes..anyone know?
both OXY and AFL earnings are out, those are the lasto nes i was waiting for. both stocks are green today. last 3 days have been very very nice out performance for me finally, been waiting all year for that. have about $6,000 im looking to stick in somewhere. CSCO is biggest contender was hoping it would be down again today.
holy breakout...at noon OXY finally decided its time to break out. straight up 4.2% ever since. OXY is by far my largest holding.
will be leaving office early so doing update now. Account balance: $39,675 for a WoW gain of 7.2% vs SPY WoW gain of +1.7%, one of my better weeks in a long while. Initial deposit: $22,300 (no new deposits) Had a fantastic week in every one of my holdings, COH was biggest winner with great earnings call. So far I sold KMB at the absolute highest point since their earnings release as they have gone straight down. Would be interested in re opening under 100. CAT and OXY have both had stellar weeks and they are my two biggest holdings. AFL had positive after earnings movement and allowed me to close my put I sold at $2 more than 3 weeks early for $0.30 Worst earnings was GE but I have a very small position in them, less then $1500 worth. I have about 10-15k im looking to shoot out now really hoping for market to turn down soon here. Top contenders at the moment if we get a good correction: IBM under 185 CSCO under 20 KMB under 100 PG under 74 MMM under 100 UTX under 87.5
quick update to say i broke through 40k COH continues to rocket straight up. I'm up 20% on this one in about 3 weeks. I'm in an interesting position right now where I want to sell stuff but don't see anything else to buy. I hate being in cash. Will likely sell out COH and half my OXY by end of day today..
have to leave the office early again today, obviously the market isnt closed yet but will do update: Account Balance: $43,910 Total Deposits: $25,300 (added $3k this week) Another good week for me. Looks like CAT is finally starting to break out. OXY continues it's ferocious break out and I'm now up 17.2% on it in. Still up 21% on COH..haven't sold anything yet as most of my stuff looks like it's still mid breakout with the exception of COH. Will be watching COH closely.
