Trade - Buy/Write DXD

Bloody hell!  How can I turn down close to $3000 in profits with 25 days till February Expiry!   I picked up 1000 shares of DXD at $60.60 and sold February $62 strikes at $2.85 to rake in close to $3000.00 in profits!

If the Dow tanks I’ll profit more, if the Dow recovers, my options will expire worthless and wait for the next down turn to unload.   I hope it’s a win-win for me.

ETF Covered Calls 01-18-2008

What a bloody week!  My bet on SDS paid off as I’ll get called and make a few hundred bucks more on top of the $1200 I already made.  On the flip side, my EEB options expired worthless so I’ll look for opportunities to profit on a bounce.

Here are this weeks ETF-Cashinator picks.  Be careful out there!

Trade - Buy To Close OIHAR

Back in December I sold OIHAR for $5.00 and today I closed that position for $0.40 to net a profit of $4.60. OIH has been bouncing sporadically and I’m going to try to resell those January strikes (OIHAR) next week for some additional profit if OIH bounces back high next week. It’s a gamble but I’ve banked a 90% profit on the options now anyway!

Trade - Buy/Write SDS & EEB

I couldn’t resist some easy profits here despite my better judgement to sit in cash.  I picked up 700 shares of EEB @ $52.60 and sold January $53 strikes for $1.00 to rake in ~$700.  I also bought 1000 shares of SDS @ $58.75 and sold the January $59 calls for $1.20 to rake in $~1200.   Overall I made close to $1900 (1.88% return) with only 5 business days to options expiry!

I’ll update the tables and run the ETF-Cashinator this evening and post the results.

ETF Covered Calls 01-04-2008

Looks like moving to cash paid off as the is now Dow down over 400 points in the last couple of weeks. With only a couple of weeks to options expiry I am very tempted to get back in for some quick profit but the market may slide some more and if the down slide snowballs we could have some major problems.  Energy play seems stable at the moment.  In any event, here are this weeks ETF-Cashinator picks:
