SPY – DEC10 Three-Legged Option Spread

May 26th, 2010. Posted by ThetaTrader

108.83 (+1.01)

05/26/2010 – ThetaOptions Margin Portfolio – SPY Bullish Spread

In order to ensure that our (mp) portfolio beats the S&P this year, we decided to place a few DEC spreads on the SPY just in case this market finishes the year on a positive note. Earlier this afternoon we sent a trade alert to our members; detailing the trade. Essentially, we entered into DEC Three-Legged Option spread on the SPY. The trade is capable of producing 70% return on investment, and the best part is that we’re not on the hook unless the index falls another 15% or so :-) Read the rest of this entry »

Well we dodge the bullet last month by getting out of our MAR 550 Caller before BIDU blasted past it…..this morning GS raised it’s guidance on BIDU to $675, so we felt the time is fairly safe for the (MP) sell another naked caller during the initial excitement today.  Hopefully they don’t raise their price target to GooglePlex (a large number) before MAY 21st :-) Read the rest of this entry »
