GOOG – not yet but I can’t wait!
MA – out of the June puts for .40 and a $1 trailing stop on 1/2 and a $2 ts (of the max sell on the other half of the June calls so that’s $9 minimum but watch the $125 line for a signal to get out fast.
TM – looks like a flush to me! I’m buying out the June $125 caller at $1.50 and will shift my May $125s over to those as soon as it finds some sort of bottom. If it keeps going down I can selll the May $120s (currently $2.25) against perhaps 1/2 the position. XXX Earnings are next week and projections are that they will earn 7% LESS than last year and 6% LESS than last quarter. The stock, meanwhile is trading at last year’s open so I continue to accumulate the Octobers – now buying the $135s for $2.85 but hoping they get cheaper (I’m already in on the $140s).
TSO – I’m going to load back up AFTER inventories. My basis is $7.20 so I will DD at $3.60 but I’m hoping for a little run-up and a reverse.
I’m calling TM a shake out – I was just running the dollar/yen, which is the only thing I can even imagine hurting their earnings and it’s just not happening. Even if the Yen was strong against the dollar, the benefits of the Euro/Yen differential would make up for it in spades.
GOOG buying June $450 puts for $6.40, selling May $470 puts for $8.20 and rolling to a higher put every time they go to $10 (ie. when the $480 gets down to $10 I roll into it). XXX – but tough on margins. Stope your putter at $9
Buying June $480s for $11.25, will sell May later. XXX Stop if naked at $10.
WFR – that’s why we held the naked calls! Too good to keep down long but don’t get excite until they do better than a 50% retrace above $60 as $56.50 is a 20% meaningless bounce.
QQQQ $46s are doing nicely, nice offset to the DIA puts (just 200 now) so I can afford .37 to roll to the $132 puts at $1.22 XXX
FIZ (see yesterday) is bubbling! Someone besides me will figure this out soon. I’m in on the common because there is zero option traffic, might start selling options as you can get $1.55 for the June $15s so a litttle mo here and we could have something worth selling.
