$25KP Review

Hard to complain about this one.

I’d like to be more than hald cash here but we have $32K tied up in the GOOG Mar $670s, which are covered by $690s so it’s not exactly a posision I’m worried about.  Our other big play is RIMM but, unlike the $10KP, we don’t need the cash so there’s no reason to reposition a position that is ahead on both ends of the trade at the moment.

CAKE doen’t pay well enough to take a big risk so let’s sell the 10 that are uncovered for $2.50.  GE is the same as the $10KP, I want out this week.  HMY Mays were bought to bail us out of the Jans we got killed on, mission accomplished as the 2 positions are just about net neutral so, painful as it seems to take a loss, we should cash the Jan $10s for .70 or better but certainly by the end of the week.

MSFT suffers the same January effect, these contracts just aren’t worth the risk so out at $2.  NEM I’m fine with, PFE should be good, SHLD hopefully will give us a run to sell calls into and our Jan Ts need to go for $2 as well.  The naked DIA puts can be rolled up to the $135 puts for .82 and we then sell the Dec 31st $135 puts for .80 and hope the market holds up until Monday. 

I’m happy with all our spreads otherwise and we’re going to roll the T Apr $35s up to 2X the Apr $40s and sell more Jan $40s assuming we hold $41 this week.  TSO has already shown us last month that there is no point to reacting to $3 swings in the stock so we will watch and look out for a good opportunity to take out our putter on a good run.  Probably the best we could hope for this week is buying them back for $1.25 on a good spike back towards $50.
