KB & Elmerp,
KB,
Currently my account has
30 long DELL puts
335 short calls
215 short puts
these are spread out over most months with DELL contracts available, and a large portion are for Nov, Jan, and Feb.
Also have INTC, MSFT, and CSCO positions, but not nearly as large. Dell has been a company I have followed and studied, so feel more comfortable trading in those contracts. Would like to trade combos in QQQ, or mini 500, but haven't yet.

Elmerp,
When I was asked to post trades by KB and others (and of course with Gersh's permission- he started this thread) I thought full disclosure was the best means to share trading ideas. I know many a person who make lots of trades, but come out with a net loss expiration after expiration. A strategy is no good if not profitable. When I learn strategies of others, I wind up asking how many contracts, for what value, intention, etc.... and I thought posting as much as I could about the trades and profit picture would be beneficial;leaves less to guessing. But ultimately I want to offend no one. If anyone is offended by what I might incorrectly view as a more complete picture, I have no problem posting only trades. And, I am only of modest means, but try to use these means to the fullest to take advantage of the market.
I meant no ill will and hope it didn't keep anyone from sharing ideas.
Cheers,
kaka |
