Feeling a little better….

Posted on July 31, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

It looks like getting out was good, but I still think about the 80-100 dollars in my sights, but allowed to slip away. It happens to all traders. For some; its millions.

AVON AVP

Posted on July 31, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

I bought puts on AVP this morning. I bought Sept 35 Puts at $1.10 I was hoping to hold. The stock was having a good run and I took the opportunity to follow a stop up ($1.40). The option was up 60-70% at one point, but I was still hoping to hold. [...]

Not a bad call (on my put).

Posted on July 30, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

The day ended at a little below par of my entry.  So, I made a good choice.  With such an up day for the markets, tomorrow might have offered an opportunity.  But, once again, because I’m not in a position to ride my stocks; I did the best thing.  Although, now that I have a [...]

Out a $1.80

Posted on July 30, 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

I got greedy when it was at 2.00 “hold on for more!” Well, it was going 100% the wrong direction about an hour later, so I got out. Looks like a wise choice. Better a little profit then none or a loss.

VCLK – Midday

Posted on July 30, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

Yeah, I’m still on vacation, but not 100% when a trade is in play. I’m still keeping a tight stop. My stop is at 1.90. If it hits I’ll most likely get 180-190 for it. I paid 150. My wish is that it dives at the end of the day. [...]

VCLK

Posted on July 30, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

I bought 1 Sept 20 put on VCLK this morning. I have a tight stop and very well could stop out quickly. VCLK dropped 20% – a little deep for my taste, but it’s the best option I could see this morning. The stock could slowly climb back, but if we get [...]

checking in….

Wow PNRA (aug 60 puts) are at $1.45. That would be 150%. But, I was smart to book profits while I was away.
Why ruin my vacation worrying. I didn’t know if the stock would go up or down. Yes, I could have put a stop on, but [...]

Sold PNRA

Posted on July 26, 2007. Filed under: Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

I sold my AUG .60 Puts for PRNA .85. I’m off for few days. I will stay out of the market so I can sleep during my vacation. So, I’m up 41.5% for the month. I’ll be back Monday. No picks this morning.

NTRI

Posted on July 25, 2007. Filed under: Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

I’m reminded that NTRI was a target today also. I would have stopped out with a loss if I bought at the open or mid-day. I’ll keep an eye on it to see how the next few day play out. If I’m going to watch stocks like this, I need to absorb [...]

Yesterdays stock

Posted on July 25, 2007. Filed under: Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

Yesterday’s stock was Lpnt. I sold out at its top yesterday and today it went down about a dollar. I would’ve had a 60-80% profit today. But, I had to sell. I’d be even unhappier if it kept going up and I lost all my money.
I’m ending the day [...]
