Trading Review Up to October 12th Mid-day


I’m going to cover stocks or options that I haven’t have the time to post about (especially the one that I’m -virtually- holding). So here it is:

CKR buy call at $15. I got filled at $2.35 and the current buy call price is at $3.9. This trade is very text book. I’m looking for a [...]

US Stock Market Trading October 12th 2006


HAL seems to be a very undervalued stock right now. It trades around 3/4 of its yearly highest price and although the graphic doesn’t look that good but the MACD and Price Oscillator is showing me that the stock is quite ready for reversal. On this one, I’m not going to buy it with options [...]

X or KO or UNH, Which Should You Choose?


A friend of mine is making this simple analysis:
KO, on bottom channel + uptrend; UNH = on bottom channel + uptrend; X = forming rising wedge
I’m not a fan of alien languages that is brought by many technical analyst so I’m going to speak in human language.
I might be a contrarian to those suggestions and [...]

Hibernating Season and Final Paper

INTC and MSFT Earnings Anticipation


MSFT and INTC is going to release their quarterly earnings announcements on October 26th and 17th respectively. I have anticipated this by taking a straddle options position (meaning that I have a buy call and buy put contracts). This is done to limit my risk exposure (and thus, also hurting my profit position). Anyway, here’s [...]

October 6th US Trading


Okay, here’s my trades for today:

AMZN Jan ‘07 $35 Buy Call and AMZN Jan ‘07 $37.5 Buy Call. I’m trying to use the Christmas buying season that usually propels Amazon’s profit (hence, increase in stock price). The two different strike price is actually my little experiments on which trades goes best with this particular stock, [...]

Fresh Batch of Financial Books


I decided to dig deeper to my books collection today. I got this tendention to “buy and forget” if it goes to book or other readings (I just remember that I have 2 editions of BusinessWeek that I haven’t read). However as part of my something-resolution, I decided to uncover many books that is left [...]

State of Account October 2nd 2006


My trailing stop on GM’s option got executed today and bring in around $1/share (around $100 per contract — and I have 5 contracts).
AMD is still going down despite the positive NASDAQ movements. I think my previous projection is still valid and we can potentially gain at least $2/share on Buy put contract. Just don’t [...]
