I just bought 10 Jabil (JBL) LEAPS. As most readers know I made a mistake when buying a JBL LEAPS on Tuesday. That was a $45 Call Option I was trying to own. After getting out of that ill-filled order the stock dropped yesterday. Today I placed an order for the $42 Call (LEAPS) and […]

Today I had to fix a mistake I made with my Jabil (JBL) LEAPS. Yesterday I reported that I bought a Jabil (JBL) 1/21/22 $45 LEAPS. Well, I made a mistake when placing that order. This happens once in a while. I reported another mistake with an order about 2 months ago. Which was a […]

I bought a 10 contract LEAPS a few minutes ago. Jabil (JBL) is an “A” rated company and just came out with great earnings this morning. If you look at the last few earnings on the candlestick chart the stock has been going up after a good report. I’m hoping it does the same this […]

I took a loss on MDR in a low trade week. My schedule has been very busy lately. I guess my wife’s birthday, which fell on a weekend, had something to do with that. Also it’s Christmas time. As a result I’m a little behind on my work. I’m just getting to my week ending […]

I just sold a 10 contract AMD Call to continue my Roll-Out position. It has been a crazy busy weekend! The last post I wrote was very close to the closing bell on Friday. That post was New Stock Added to a Wealth Builder Portfolio. The last sentence of that post was: I just made a […]

Wealth Builder has 3 portfolios: The 5 Star Trading Portfolio, the Pillar of Strength Portfolio and the Stock Alternative Portfolio. When I put a […]

I was just filled on a 10 Contract Call with Jabil (JBL). On 11/27/19 I bought 1000 shares of JBL at $39.08. JBL is a great stock with an “A” rating. When I bought the stock I also sold a 10 contract Call. That Call expired last Friday and I wasn’t assigned. Today I sold […]

I just sold a 5 contract Call on Micron. This is a Covered Call. Since Sept I’ve been bringing in some nice money with Micron (MU). On 9/5 I sold a Call that I bought in July. This was a $1000 gain. On 9/4 I sold a 10 contract Call for a $750 gain. I […]

I sold 15 contracts of McDermott Intl (MDR) with a loss. Back on 10/30/19 I bought options on MDR. This is a very low priced stock and not my typical trade. I really never heard of the stock before, and I saw the Najarian Bros talking about it on their Unusually Activity segment on CNBC. […]
