on the “not-so-fast” spy chart I see a higher high and a higher low, but you have a lower high. I'm looking at the daily. It seems like we need to wait 2 or 3 days to see if the recent high is broken or not?

Steve why buy at 83? Isn't that likely to be a top at least short term? Shouldn't we wait for a higher high on the 10 min and then get in on a pull back?

I got out of RUT first thing this morning. I think it was at a better price than close yesterday...

sorry can't really watch these since I'm on the road. sounds like you don't see cree exploding higher unless it breaks that multi-year resistance. makes sense. I'm to get into a sold call spread as a hedge for a few days. I'd rather get a little upside burn than downside.

any update on the CREE double calendar you posted publicly?

price seems to have been rejected at 104.77ish several times on volume. but there is an ascending triangle forming also and its trendline is at about 103.

Since 104.77 didn't break, it seems like this was a short play with a buy limit at 103 and a buy stop at 105. Alternatively you could buy at 103 with a stop below the trendline and anticipate the 104.77 break out.

would about selling sept 75 puts on LMT with a stop @ 73 for an IRA that has almost 6K? seems like a good risk reward.

I was thinking about selling an SPY sept SPY call spread with a max profit at 102, break even around 103.

maybe use the double long RUT ETF instead of the TNA.

Re: Portfolio Update, Aug 12 Investing With Options

donahchoo — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:20:21 -0000

so 578 on RUT? Sept TNA calls I take it?

I agree. I think the right way to play bull flags is to get long the break out on 2 or fewer touches of the upper limit or get long on the lower limit on the 3 or 4 touch of it and take some off at the top.

donahchoo — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:27:26 -0000

a break and hold below 1000 and afternoon weakness is very bullish? assuming you think this because the dip will be aggressively bought by those that have missed this run?

BTW, I think 1100 would piss ppl of more than 950...

I don't see what the fuss about TICK is. either it don't tell you jack, I don't know how to use it, or its been useless lately.

why wait for the break and not buy at the bottom of the channel? Waiting for the break out always seems to hose me, buying at the bottom of the channel seems to work out better, with a stop below it.
