As I mentioned in my post on Friday, I was expecting two more trades to close soon as they would get closer to becoming worthless. It happened today! On Friday last week, my put selling trade against LINE lost value to $0.05 per contract, so I could buy it back (for free) and keep the Continue reading →
Today, I closed a trade against Line Energy (LINE) which I opened at the beginning of May (05/07/2014) with expiration in July – next month. I sold 1 put contract with 28 strike and July expiration for 1 dollar (or $100 collected in premiums). Today, this trade was worthless (it actually cost 0.05) and I Continue reading →
Corning Inc. (GLW) received an upgrade today and rallied in the morning. That put this stock out from a quite long squeeze into a rally. It was a first day when my indicator showed and entry point. So I decided to scale in another call trade out of my 3 planned trades. I planned to Continue reading →
Today I opened a new trade against TEVA. The stock recently triggered a break out from a longer term squeeze and both indicators I watch are pointing for an uptrend move.

This is another test trade I am going to open on Monday if my price limit is met. It is a live test of my squeeze signal reading.

But also I wasn’t very comfortable with those trades. Many of them were directional trades and I was unable to make money. When the trade went against me, it Continue reading →
My yesterday’s trade finished today with full profit. I managed to keep the entire premium I collected and the option against GameStop (GME) expired worthless. Although there were many doubts out there whether GME is a good stock to own or not I trusted my sense and expectations when opening the trade. Of course, I Continue reading →
This morning I entered another trade against GameStop (GME). It was a bit speculative trade and a source of either a quick profit or a big burn. Today after market close GME reported 1Q results and I took a risk of being burnt if the company reported disappointing results. This trade will expire tomorrow, so Continue reading →
My account grew a bit once again and I decided to open another trade – a new put selling trade against Corning Inc (GLW). The company in a nutshell manufactures glass (if you can call it that way) which is used in iPhones, smart phones and tablets. That gives the company a great advantage as Continue reading →
