ST Trading - Options

Well, I got caught up in my day job and didn't pay attention this morning ... otherwise I coulda/woulda/shoulda. I also wasn't expecting such an extreme move, so I didn't have any GTC orders in. Oh, well. The lemmings who see JJ's "news" tonight will probably give me a second try tomorrow.

However, I did dump half of the APR 45 calls later in the day, to reduce exposure: in at 2.75, out at 3.60, 24.3% profit after costs.

A skim of the LAM news tells me to expect a bump up because:
1) Anticipated bad news is out, reducing uncertainty;
2) Someone finally took a WAG at visibility, again reducing uncertainty.

I'll plan accordingly.

Now, the fickle market gets to make me eat the plan. <g>
