    What is the opinion of AMR for a Bear Call Spread for June?

  2. Well, it took two days but the move that I expected finally came just now. I was able to buy the shorts back two days ago for 0.60, and sold the longs today for 5.10, so I didn't quite get back to break even. Overall though, I'm happy with the exit.

  3. At first glance looks promising. I've got a tee time in 15 minutes, so I'll have to see where they close today and do the r/r analysis over the weekend.

  4. I've also got an order in to roll the MAY SPX bear calls into JUN a little bit further out. No takers yet, so we'll see what happens.

  8. After looking it over a bit, I am a little concerned about the latest upward move. I think it is going to find support just above $26 and if the subsequent move is made on high volume then the resistance at $29 is in trouble.

    That said, I might wait to see if it will bounce off of the 50SMA/horizontal support at 26.

    Can't say. Earnings scheduled for next week on the 16th. If I had to trade it I'd pick the shorts, but ... I don't :) .

  10. I think the ER might be the determining factor as to which direction it breaks.
