May 7th Trading Log (Wed Trading Plan):
SPY traded between roughly 285 3/4 and 290 3/4, closing slightly above 288 1/4. The prior close was 292 3/4. I expect SPY to fall at least to the low 280s. However, I also expect more volatility. So, if SPY rises towards 290, I’ll buy Jun or Jul puts. I may sell some of the shares, although I expect them to be much higher later this year. GOOG showed much more relative strength than BA. However, I’ll watch both for opportunities to buy calls.
My portfolio is at $715,000 including $272,000 in cash.
Calls Contracts-Shares Long
SLB 7,000 shares
OIH 10,000 shares
Puts Contracts-Shares Short
None
Portfolio at $100,000 on Mar 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss raised to $500,000. Stop loss will be strictly enforced and extreme caution will be taken if triggered to avoid large losses and preserve capital in "irrational" market periods. |
