sitting on a long equity short (sept) call position. will be

, would hate to be naked short

when I signed up with BPT ~4+ yrs ago, I too thought that
was a great plan, 1 trade and pay for 1 yr subscription.
Unfortunately, now that time has pasted I will have to live to well
over 200 (and counting) in order to use up all those
'paid for' years at BPT.
shorted a bunch of auggie 5 puts when it was identified last
week.
of course having gone long would
have made me a lot more $, but that isn't typically my
modis operandi. as long as we don't see $5.00 by next friday, I'm
happy! thanx and good trading
I reviewed this chart for ETN this past weekend by expanding it
to cover 2 yrs. It's been a 'nice ride' for long investors,
thus I think I will wait abit before venturing in, just
in case the downside is incomplete (using fibs). good trading.
ugly day, figured i' post something, check out the chart (not
included) back 1 year. that gap above 60 (in 2013) then held
as support ~6 times (give or take) including today. fwiw, i sold
some auggie 55 puts, i couldn't resist the stand still ROR.
good trading
figure it's about time i post something, but no charts. both
names have been noted on the blog in the past. fwiw: i've sold
augie puts on both (i have some expiring tomorrow so it was time to
put new ones on), Ecyt 6's and Xco 5's. note both have earnings ~ 2
weeks from now (I'm anticipating both meet/exceed expectations).
both appear to be consolidating chartwise, 'nicely' at current
levels (give or take ~ $0.25) the standstill rate of return is
rather attractive in my eyes. lastly, both have decent balance
sheets/ cash position
butno earnings to speak of.
due dilegence on your part is required before you take a
position. reminder, i'm a chicken at heart, thus i prefer
selling shorter dated puts to taking a long position (in most
instances). good trading.

seems once it broke, nobody was interested in buying my auggie puts for 'protection'. not even today when it went lower after the opening 1/2 hour.
