Jenna .. could be a positive day for ATHM tomorrow see this piece of news dailynews.yahoo.com

I've been busy with other things around here lately, not much time for the thread or trading. I'm still holding stock in SWS, NITE, NTBK, MSGI, plus calls in AMAT, DELL, WMT, ATHM in my ST trading portfolio :)N.C.

Jenna,

Re: You really can't plan it that well you have to have a variety of strategies for every eventuality

How true... for the first time in several months I took option straddle positions on 3 stocks (AMAT, INKT and COVD) with slight bias towards the long side. I wasn't able to post as much because these things need complete and full attention as you probably already know... COVD was magnificent, AMAT turned okay late and INKT I was not able to close out completely. I'll probably keep on doing it here until we have the clouds clear up a bit... limit 3 stocks.

Have you considered doing it this way at all? The gains can be limited but on really volatile stocks that go nowhere... it's great!!! I think I'll try it on GNET tomorrow...

Regards,
SF

Long SWS 66, amzn 6 1/8 out 11 1/2, ATHM puts in 6 5/8 sold at 7 instead of 9. but I sold yesterday all but small postions in some earnings plays my HWP and DELL options. could be a good buying opportunity for select stocks.
