FTEK my doom
Posted on December 17, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, options |
I know I’ve traded FTEK before. But, I just realized that FTEK is what took me out in Aug. I can’t believe it! I obviously didn’t read my posts again from August. I got stuck in a short squeeze that lasted longer then my option. That is when the stock was 5-10 points higher.

The market is headed in the right direction for shorts. Let’s plan on Ftek following. We don’t want to stay in to long. The large short positions and insider buying could make thing pop big time. Jim Cramer even gave it a thumbs up for the new year. But, I wouldn’t get in right [...]

The option jumped over my opening price of $1.40. I left for a while and left a order for $1.65 in case it came back down a little. It did. $1.20 when got in the door with my order happily filled at $1.65. Sucker. Looking at the charts I see Ntri was sitting at resistance [...]

I’m buying a December 30 call for short term trade. Limit $1.30 at the open It’s a short squeeze situation. I think I still have a good opportunity to catch a little more of a move. I’m a in the money and hope to be out of the position by Friday.

Unfortunately, that is why I have to call it done. I lost. I held on for a month. I will deposit another two hundred into the account and do it again. Of course, making note that I am not smarter then my rules. If I am to win, I must [...]

If you are long Ftek. You made money today. Unfortunately, I have a couple puts on it. It seems to be setting up as a solid long. Other then the fact they offered an awful quarterly report to shareholders and lowered guidance it’s a fine pick.
My only hope is [...]

I doubled down on the optionn this morning. I bought an FTEK 25 aug .60 put. So I have two with an average price of .75 . This is most likely the end of the game. I will follow the “no look policy”. OK, maybe a peek at noon.
This stock will need [...]

I have to put into place the “no look” policy. Why? Well, one of the rules is these trades need to be boring. If I’m watching, I’
m often creating excitement and emotion that will allow me to justify bad choices. Also, it takes away from my current source of income. Sometimes my choices save trades, sometimes it [...]
