In case it decides to go up tomorrow, I placed a buy stop limit order for 300 shares at $27.20/$27.25. On the other hand, it can just as well decide to go down to $24, and so I also placed a sell short stop limit order on it for 300 shares at $25.95/$25.90.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511765703071689959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969366797834293153.post-15599856550401707832010-11-10T15:57:55.429-08:002010-11-10T15:57:55.429-08:00I remember receiving a call from a broker in the l...I remember receiving a call from a broker in the late 90's trying to sell me some KMT shares, I told him I'd rather buy WMT and he hung up pronto.<br /><br />"DETROIT (AP) -- The former chief executive of Kmart will drop his appeal of a $10 million-plus penalty and pay $5.5 million to settle years of litigation over the retailer's fragile health before it filed for bankruptcy in 2002, court documents show.<br /><br />A jury found Charles Conaway liable last year for misleading the company's investors, and a federal judge subsequently ordered him to pay millions."Chickenpookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474588806509500129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969366797834293153.post-45171874201721523542010-11-10T15:52:03.278-08:002010-11-10T15:52:03.278-08:00Covered SLW @ 34.55.

Looking at the 1-year chart, $21 is a pretty good deal. So I just opened a small "starter" position (200 shares) at $21.30. If CSCO drops below $21 tomorrow, then I'll sell a bunch of $20 puts on it, which should give me an entry below the 1-year low.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511765703071689959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969366797834293153.post-24202500017433085682010-11-10T15:08:30.964-08:002010-11-10T15:08:30.964-08:00cheapy - Agree.

However, since UNG futures made a higher low and a higher high recently, there is a good chance that it is in a multi-week uptrend, and so I just reloaded after hours at $5.86 the 500 shares of UNG I sold yesterday at $6.07. <br /><br />Also, I see that oil had a nice run today and hit my sell limit order at $3 for one November $35 call. So now I sold two calls total, one at $2 and one at $3, and the proceeds covered the purchasing costs of all 4 calls I am holding. That is, I now have 2 "free" November $35 calls with sell limit orders at $4 and $5 for them. <br /><br />SLW did hit my buy stop order today at $34.50, so I am exiting my short flat. That's OK with me, however -- this short was meant only as a hedge on my ECU.TO, which is up 8% today. Needless to say, this propels my account to yet another all-time high.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511765703071689959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969366797834293153.post-27964601518891011182010-11-10T14:10:28.247-08:002010-11-10T14:10:28.247-08:00Long CSCO at $21.90 after hours.Long CSCO at $21.90 after hours.teamonfuegonoreply@blogger.com
