AMZN - one trade for the month

I don’t know why, but I have a thing with money not being used/utilised, so decided to dump the last bit of the spare capital into AMZN. The market has pulled back quite strongly yesterday night, but for some reason majority of my portfolio was not affected (which is great) I guess good stocks don’t [...]

Covered Calls Trades for January Expiry

Hi All,
January is a short month, only has 25 days to expiry (which includes Christmas and New Year holiday effectively making this into a 15 trading day month) The premiums are not as high as I would like but I guess that’s because everybody is not looking at the screen (i.e. on holidays, lower volatility)
Anyways, [...]

US Dec Options expiry! Every exercised/assigned

As expected all my positioned got exercised, i.e. I made my premiums! (which is all I want… this is not a capital growth strategy, its purely a cashflow strategy)

Stock Options Trading - NVDA, AAPL, RIMM & AMZN

These are the 4 trades I opened on Monday 22nd October 2007. Took me about 30mins to find and execute these trades, not exactly my best efforts as I was in a rush and only chasing high returns. I only used the screener function on optionsXpress screening for the highest static returns. From there I [...]
