  • LEND – Stopped out at $9.75
  • MT May$55s for $1.55

    • selling the $52.50s for $2 or better by but definately by EOD

Just to save time, setting 20% of profit or 20% of total stops on all Apr/May calls right here – I want to get out of a bunch of stuff and I will see where I end up later to see which way I need to cover.

Picking up next level down on Mattress with .10 stops on original puts, .20 on second round and .25 on round 3 – I have few calls left to protect so these are now mo plays.

  • IWM Apr $78 puts (IOWPZ) $1, .25 Tstop
  • SPY Apr $140 puts (SFBPJ) at $1.20, .25 Tstop

European trading ends, let the window dressing begin!

  • DIA today $123s for .25 (BQQCS) are a fun play if you can score them.

Wow, got those DIAs for .20 – now all I need is a green Dow by 4 pm (this is me putting my faith in the crooks ability to manipulate the market).

  • CY – ‘09 $20s for $3.05
    • keeping the ‘09 $22.50s so we can aggressively sell close calls (but for now, just buy and wait a bit)

  • NEM May $42.50s for $1.75 as weekend protect

  • Holy cow, HPQ at .90! I’m out, didn’t intend to make that much today…
Posted March 30, 2007 at 3:24 pm | Permalink (Edit)

I’m going with the SPY Apr $141s as weekend plunge protection, I’ve been in and out 3 times in 3 days and they are a bit off the LOD at $1.25 (was $1.90) so you get good bang for your buck on the downside yet the 10 day low is .75.
