I only had one trade come to an end this week. The stocks I’m holding are still moving nicely so I’m holding them for now. When I feel the stock will stop moving I’ll sell for some trading funds. On Thursday, 3/21 I sold a 5 contract Call on 500 shares of Cree (CREE) I […]

Yesterday I sold 5 Calls against 500 shares of Cree I own. I sold 5 Cree 3/29/19 $60 Calls for a premium of 80¢. Selling this option brought me in a premium of $400. Today with the market down, so is Cree. I placed an order to “Buy to Close” this option for 20¢ ($100). […]

Yesterday I bought 500 shares of Cree (CREE) on an upgrade by J P Morgan. I bought the shares at $57.70 per share. I bought the shares with the intention of selling 5 Calls later in the day. The stock went up a little after I bought but I didn’t see any options I liked […]

As I mentioned a few times in recent post I’m trying to consolidate my funds by selling stock to increase my options trading. Since the beginning of my basketball season, and before, I’ve been buying stock, mostly 100 shares per stock. I did this to keep my money working while not doing my option trading. […]

I’m sorry for the alinement problems in my last post. My company made some changes to the format while I was away and I’m still learning. I hope this looks better. Result Week Ending 3/8/19 Hi All, it feels good to slowly get back into my research, my trading and catching up with Main Street […]

Hi All, it feels good to slowly get back into my research, my trading and catching up with Main Street beats Wall Street. This is my 1st week ending report in a long time. Let’s see what happened this week. I started the week off with my 1st trade on Monday. I sold a 10 […]

In my post yesterday I listed a bunch of stocks I’m holding. I mentioned I bought these stocks and was holding them as my own little mutual fund. With holding these stocks, I was hoping to have my account grow while I was idle from trading options. It worked pretty well! Some of these stocks […]

Yesterday I sold a 10 contract Naked Call on Weight Watchers (WTW). I held the position for an hour and I made a quick $300. The stock pulled back after I sold the Call; since it was a Naked Call and I could get out in such a short time, I decided to grab the […]

This win put us in the NYC A division city championship game. We played a very tough Fordham Prep team from the Bronx. We were winning most of the 1st half and […]
