16 May, 2007 – Case in point. With my GM puts, although they were up at one point 35% (my target was a 50% gain), I ended up selling out at a 40% loss when I got stopped out (normally I’ll set my stop-losses on options anywhere from 25% to 40%). Had in not been [...]

May 8, 2007 – The Marvel June 25 Puts have provided a good lesson that can be applied to making money in purchasing stocks. Again, I just dabble in options every now and then so by no means do I consider myself an expert in options. However, I do know enough to make money from [...]

8 May, 2007 – Today will be the day that will likely determine whether or not this play works out or not. Normally, as I’ve reiterated before, I don’t like holding options through earnings announcements, but since I made the decision to buy in last week, I decided to take a chance with this one.

7 May, 2007- I decided to re-write my article about Marvel Puts this week before the market opens tomorrow because there is an important lesson in my reasons for buying the Marvel June 25 Puts last week even if this play doesn’t turn out to be successful. And though I normally don’t blog about options [...]

7 May 2007 – I just spent an hour writing this morning’s blog entry about why Marvel June 25 puts were a compelling play last week and why I decided to buy in at $0.40 a contract last week (by the way they were at this exact same price when the markets opened this morning [...]

3 May 2007 – Today, GM reports earnings. Again, though it worked out for us on the BIDU Calls, I generally don’t like holding puts through earnings announcements as it is very difficult to gauge how the market will react to poor or better than expected earnings. As much as I believe GM is headed [...]

30 April 2007 – First of all, a quick correction to a typo in a previous blog entry. I mentioned in a previous blog that I was in GM June 25 Puts. That was a typo. I’m in GM June 30 puts. However from the price points I gave in the previous blog of 1.20 [...]

27 April 2007 – Well today, when BIDU gapped up over 19% to $130 a share, I closed out the remaining BIDU May 100 Calls at 400% profits. Yesterday I took a little bit more off the table at 85% profits, and as you recall, I initially took 50% off the table at 50% profits. [...]

25 April 2007 – Normally I don’t speak much of option plays as my investment course, SmartKnowledgeU, focuses on long term plays that will yield phenomenal gains by identifying low risk- high reward opportunities. Occasionally, I will purchase options merely for the chance of supplementing the total returns of my portfolios when the same low [...]
