Weinstein Trading and Fading

Discussion in 'Journals' started by Robert Weinstein, May 5, 2008.

  1. On Tuesday I made one trade with ACHN, Faded the move higher during it's first move above $11.50.

    Took out +.34 (profit target was .40) when it build a base around the sub $11.50 area.

    Good day overall.

    Still long RIMM covered calls.

  5. no, I am still long rimm calls. I been writing weeklys up until about 10 or so days ago and I wrote the April 15s.

    I am currently underwater with RIMM, but not by a whole lot as the covered calls have brought my basis to around $14.50ish

    The current price is near the carry away dead price so I see little downside risk relative to an upside bounce on good news.

    Still is starting to look much like COCO did last year. Only with COCO I sold every bounce and bought back most of the drops. I may add some RIMM to bring my basis down further and write calls against it. upon a bounce let it go and if it fades back lower pick some more up.

    The problem I have with this strategy is Rimm at some point is likely to move up over $20 again and a lot will be left on the table if I am only writing covered calls. I will have to see what the premium levels look like to decide.

  6. I have been running some back of the envelope numbers on nat gas and also studying the situation with supply and demand with oil and it appears oil is headed for a major drop, although not overnight (which I prefer anyway)

    Next week I am going to spend more time on this but oil is once again in my focus
