Ok so we closed green today because the US won the superbowl. We also hit 1322 which was a gap maximum. It's going to get interesting now.  Still holding FAS diagonal spread. I'm surprised the Feb leg didn't decay more.  No other trades. Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of new and improved smileys!  |

Up 4.6% on my ZLCS
Selling SVM Friday was the right move for sure. I think they all left because earnings is tomorrow after the bell.
PSUN still sucks but not as much.
AXP just bought it. I am hoping this was the breakout and not a fake out!

Up a shade over 1/2% today or 6% YTD on the portfolio. Didn't do much - responded to the margin call by selling LVS shares and buying back a few puts - then sold a few more puts. Processed the paperwork to liquidate my 403b from the University of Texas. Will pay tax on the distribution and then reduce debt and pump up my after-tax account a bit.

No trades, happy with LVS action today...still waiting for a decent price on the 47's or 48's to sell the covered calls. Watching PCX, still thinking it will get to the mid 24's, however ICO's late action may change that picture.

Call me crazy but I went short spy through feb 132 puts towards end of day. Small position.
Still holding YRCW $4 Feb calls and should have sold Friday when they went to $1.30 in the am.
Kids coverdell's I sold half their positions in CRUS on Friday. It was a 50% gain so I decided to take some profits and that stock has ran crazy the last couple of days. Will look to buy back in at $20-$22 or I will buy aapl on a good pull back.

Members, please post your results along with your RDA of new and improved smileys! I like diagonals, they usually work out well for me... One comment about your feb leg not decaying as much as you would like. Typically, mondays there won't be as much decay as later on in the week as volatility picks up (thus both puts and calls gain value) plus a lot of decay gets priced on Friday Afternoon.. |

FFR was level at .17% in 'get your parachutes on watch' territory. Maybe one of these days it will come back into 'all clear' levels  FAZ sinking like a rock. Can't say I don't feel pretty dumb about it monopoly world big cap - no moves, acct -5.5% as the market continues to move away from me. Have negative buying power, margin call after today. I had targeted the 1330 area as my capitulation zone as I would still be ahead of the market since inception at that point and would just need to re-group. scalp trades - no moves, acct -5.2% all in all, accounts were -5.4% on the day |
