billows' Trading Journal: Stop Loss fired on AAPL
http://moneyjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/stop-loss-fired-on-aapl.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. Stop Loss fired on AAPL. Well I got stopped out of AAPL today. My stop loss was set at $33.05 and with AAPL reaching a low of $170 today, that's all she wrote. This is a case where I got in just as it turned, so now I need to focus on preserving capital. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Opened Iron Condor on AAPL. Opened Put Diagonal on DRYS.

billows' Trading Journal: First Trades
http://moneyjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/first-trades.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2008. BDK 100 @ 70.55 - Showed neutral growth over the last 9mo, but in the previous two days had a huge decline, opening a big gap on extremely high volume. Hoping to get in low and ride it as it reacts to fill the gap under the support of a bullish rally. MOS 100 @ 84.25 - Showed a neutral/bullish growth over last 9mo. The 30day had crossed over the 50day moving average back around 9/04/07. Ever increasing higher highs and higher lows. Expect it to descend to a highe...

billows' Trading Journal: Opened Iron Condor on AAPL
http://moneyjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/opened-iron-condor-on-aapl.html
Wednesday, January 16, 2008. Opened Iron Condor on AAPL. As if I haven't been abused enough by AAPL, I'm going to open an Iron Condor on it. This is my trade:. Buy Feb '08 230 call @ .60. Sell Feb '08 220 call @ 1.04. Buy Feb '08 125 put @ .97. Sell Feb '08 135 put @ 2.16. So I'm opening this, but because AAPL is on my Sh*t list, I'm only doing 1 contract. LOL Ahh AAPL. Good luck with the IC. Earnings are next week and AAPL could move up or down violently after. January 18, 2008 at 7:58 AM.

billows' Trading Journal: AAPL adjustments for 1/7/08 - 1/10/08
http://moneyjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/aapl-adjustments-for-1708-11008.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. AAPL adjustments for 1/7/08 - 1/10/08. Well we've survived a 30 point sell-off of Apple over the last few days and this is how we did it:. Bought Jan '08 185 at a cost of $4.28. We add this back to our CB of $56.58. $56.58 $4.28 = $60.86. We then sell the the Jan '08 170 for $11.92. So we subtract the $11.92 from the adj. CB of $60.86 which equals $48.94. Our new CB for AAPL is $48.94. I did this one the same way as the one above so I won't explain all the math:.

billows' Trading Journal: Closed BDK and KO
http://moneyjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/closed-bdk-and-ko.html
Monday, January 14, 2008. Closed BDK and KO. Finally closed out BDK and KO - the last two of my first four long trades. So as a recap - I bought a 100 shares each of these stocks. With my initial "rookie" analysis, I expected KO to continue on a bullish trend, increasing my stock value. BDK had just come off a big sell off, and what appeared to me as a gap down, so I was expecting a rebound in the stock price. yeah, that didn't happen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

billows' Trading Journal: Sold calls on KO and BDK
http://moneyjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/ko-and-bdk.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2008. Sold calls on KO and BDK. Back on 12/31/07 I needed to do something with KO and BDK. I was Long in the stock (I actually owned the stock) and I went ahead and sold a Jan '08 ATM call on both. When you sell a call on stock that you're Long on, you make money if the stock goes up, stays neutral, or even if it goes down a little. As long as the price of your Long stock doesn't go down so much that its starts to drop below the down side protection you got by selling the call. Sold c...
