CELG & DIS - Trigger Happy?

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 28 Feb 2008

I might have gotten a little trigger happy today.  My limit orders weren’t hitting, so I reduced a few of them and two hit 30-40 minutes later.

CELG - I sold one April 55 naked put (LQHPK) and received $239.25 after …

Sold SFLY Uncovered Calls

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 26 Feb 2008

I’m still betting against SFLY.  It found support not far below its current price, but I think the upside is very limited.  I lowered my targeted strike and today while SFLY was trading at 16.27 I sold three April 17.50 …

Foster Wheeler (FWLT) Naked Puts

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 26 Feb 2008

FWLT is one of those stocks I like to keep coming back to.  It’s volatile enough to give good premiums and profitable enough that I don’t see a complete wipeout in their future.  They missed earnings today which made the stock …

No Index Chart

Monsanto Naked Puts

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 21 Feb 2008

Monsanto (MON) is another of my favorites for selling options on.  I think it has a good long term chance of moving higher and it’s volatile which pushes the premiums higher.

While MON was trading at $117.09 I sold one April …

Easing Back In With DSX Naked Puts

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 20 Feb 2008

DSX is so volatile that I figured it would drop again some, but the premium for the April 25 was so high already that I didn’t want to miss out if it stabalized or even just went up a little …

Post Option Expiration Trades

Filed under: Finance, Stock Picks - 19 Feb 2008

After my February covered calls and naked puts were called away and assigned I had the need to recover some and open new positions.

NVDA - Those who are tired of my rambling on about NVDA will be happy to know …
