The hedge fund is off and running. I’ll write up more analysis and details later but here are most of the trades I’ve put on so far this morning. I’ve bought some common and/or call options (in alphabetical order): AAPL AMZN GOOG PANW SEDG SNAP SQ

Trade Alert: Selling the puts, coloring up a bit more bullish

Tensions are running high on Wall Street and even in the Trading With Cody Chat Room. I’m trying to write up a Latest Positions but with the markets tanking yet again today, I’m going to sneak in another Trade Alert here. I’m selling most of the rest

Trade Alert: Taking some put profits as the markets hissy fit about the Fed

The markets remain jittery and today’s reversal coming after the Fed decision to raise rates 20 bps is getting the fear factor up. Maybe it’s not jittery now. It’s a hissy fitty market? I’m thinking sentiment is getting to be bearish enough to an extreme that,

Trade Alert: Taking profits on some index puts

It’s sure gotten a bit panicky out there today as the Russell 2000 small cap index makes new lows today. The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and the DJIA are all just about 1-3% away from their intraday lows in October. There are probably a lot of algorithms and

Trade Alert: Trimming some of our index puts into another panicky open

Stocks crushed again this morning. Here’s what I’m going to do. With the Nasdaq down another 2.5% this morning, I’m going to sell about 1/3 of my SPY and QQQ puts. And that’s it for now. Lots of great Q&A from our

Trade Alert: Stocks crushed. Two nibbles and locking in profits on the AMD puts

Stocks are getting crushed with the Nasdaq down more than 3% on the day as I type this at 11:25am ET. I spent almost an hour on the phone with a very insightful source who runs sales at one of our smaller cap Revolution Investments. Then I hung up

Trade Alert: One more tiny AAPL options tranche

If there’s another whoosh down today, I’ll likely do a little trimming of my index put hedges and I might do a little more buying. For now, I’m going to do a one more small trade this morning. I’m buying another TINY tranche of AAPL call

Trade Alert: Apple options trade

I’m going to be opportunistic again here this morning and nibble some AAPL call options dated out into February with strike prices around $200. The stock is down a bunch since we trimmed some near its all-time highs a few weeks ago and is probably a bit oversold. I’

Trade Alert: Adding to two positions (and I’m no longer bearish on GE, just FYI)

Well, I’d mentioned that I didn’t think the selling was all over yet, and sure enough, it’s gotten to be ugly again. There’s some outright panicky action going on in a lot of names out there and I think there’s probably some good nibbling opportunities

Trade Alert: Taking profits on our puts, buying some cheaper puts too

After a brief morning respite, the stock markets are falling again this afternoon and I’m going to make a few moves that will lock in some profits on our existing put hedges and roll our puts down a bit to balance the portfolio out a little. In other words,

Trade Alert: And a playbook for into year-end

Remember a couple days ago when the DJIA bounced 500 points and I’d mentioned that if you’d been losing sleep when stocks had been crushed down in a straight line last week that you probably should lighten up? Well, today the DJIA was down 500 points and the

Trade Alert: Selling more puts into the panic

Just a handful of weeks ago, which now seems like a lifetime ago, do you remember all the daytraders and momentum lovers all highfiving and joking about all the money they were making? I wrote about it thusly: Highflying stocks: Nemesis for the hubristic coming sooner rather than later August
