My OPTION TRADES..... part 2

Discussion in 'Options' started by Put_Master, Aug 20, 2012.

  1. Sold puts on $15 TITN for Dec.
    Credit $0.60
    Annualized % return......... 14%
    otm safety cushion...25%
    BE..... $14.40

    Good company going through a temporary difficult time, due to drought conditions. Company is also financially healthy.

    A price of $15, with a BE of $14.40... is a very good value, with good tech support in the 19 - 20 area, and again down in the $15 area, if the 19 - 20 support breaks.

  2. RE: Sold puts on $15 TITN for Dec.

    The 5 year chart is irrelevant to your 3 month trade. Go with the 3 month or 6 month chart.

  3. I'll assume that type of useful and brilliant analysis is the reason you don't share your trades.:)
    About 95% of my trades tech analysis and subsequent strike selection, is based on the 2 year chart. The remaining 5% are based on the 5 year chart.
    I want to see multiple successful tests of support, over long periods of time, and under multiple market conditions.

  5. Pretty funny, I will give you that. But diaoptions quit sharing his "trades" when everyone here figured him for the pathological liar he so clearly is. He's also a tool.

  6. You don't believe I use the 2 and/or 5 year chart to select my strike prices?
    I use fundamental analysis to select my stocks, and the 2 - 5 year chart to select the strikes.
    And when the 2 line up to offer the credit I desire.... the trade gets initiated.

    I use the L-T charts because I want to know where the L-T support areas are, in case the stock drops on me.
    My trade yesterday of TITN showed L-T support in the 19 - 20 area, and again at the $15 area.
    So I waited until TITN traded between 19 - 20 and then sold a $15 strike.
    Credit of $0.60.... for a 14% annualized return.
    If that strategy seems so unbelieable to you, I can't wait to hear how YOU select your strikes.
    Does it have something to do with the game of darts???

  8. I know exactly what you mean. I am still laughing from the other day when you accused someone of lacking integrity. Coming from you that was priceless.

    You tool.
