My option trades

  1. Looks like I'm going to be generally bearish on the market. sold the short 45 puts at $1.50 and now holding INFY oct 47.5 puts and MON oct 90 puts.....I'll have to review this market over the weekend to see if we will at least have a neutral week next week. It's been negative all week, and this week could be the turn of the tide.

  2. Closed out long INFY 47.5 puts at $3.40 so I can buy some GWW oct 220 calls at $2.30 (bought 3). I think GWW is on a clear reversal with positive earnings expected. GWW should bounce by 5-6% and I only need about 3.5% for a profit. Report comes in tomorrow and I'll go from there.

  4. totally misread GWW and taking a total loss on the trade.

    Opened up IBM calls spread 215/220 for $95 per contract, bought 5 @ ($487.95).

    Also bought 2 ISRG Oct 560/570 call @ $2.15, and 2 ISRG Oct 485/475 put spread @ $1.50 each.

    Then topped it off with APH calls....Oct 60 calls (3) at 1.60

    Yes, big chunk of the account will be tested today with these 3 trades...about $1500 here.

    Good luck on these trades, Ryan. I have not been here for quite some time...
    Wishing you success, Bryon
    ps, i got some APH calls myself, thanks (IBM too overbought on weekly chart, ISRG too rich for me)

    By the way, Ryan, I applaud your courage to post your successes and failures for all to see.
    As for "what else is new?": Ryan's account is up about 100%, that is what's new.

    Really good call on CAT so far, up nicely today. I think UPS is another one.

    I was looking at ISRG oct and nov vol today. It looks cheap.
