My Stock Value Strategy Starts Now (1 Viewer)

The Ref said:
This is where I need some help/advice.I wanted to enter into UNG carefully so I only bought into 400 shares. Now we have a large bump in one afternoon. Do I dollar cost up from here to build the posistion to get to the 1000 shares that I wanted? Or do I just hold what I have already for the rest of the ride?

Is this a long term hold or day trade? If its longer term 5% shouldn't be that big of a deal. I'm in the same boat with CHK and CENX.

What I'd do is this:Write the June 15 put...for $.65. 6 contracts.So you'll get a credit for $390. If UNG is below 15 next Friday the stock is yours at a cost basis of $14.35. If not you lowered the cost basis of your entry on the 400 owned shares.

Hey Siffoin. I was wondering if you could think of any good option strategies for those of us with some sort of trading restriction. For instance, I can buy calls and puts, or write covered calls, but I can't write puts (even if secured with the intention of going long).

Big :shark: to sif for explaining the synthetic stock play with UNG. Great for someone like me who doesn't have Dodds like money to invest.
 
This is one of those days I wish I had DoddsCash in my account, because I'd be in huge on these CHK options and CENX and be making Moatloads.

 
OK, I think I may have read everything ever mentioning HEB. I sit at 5,000 shares at $2.34. I am going to hold until FDA approval, rejection or $3.00+/share pre-announcement. I think this might be a homerun for the hedgefunds that are manipulating this bad boy. I figure worst case is this stock is still worth 75 cents a share if they stay in phase III.

LOL. I have played it pretty safe here actually. I am tempted to get deeper in to UNG and Aluminum, but I still fear a market correction that could possibly topple everything. And if that market correction comes, I also want all my cash working for me here. I am still very happy with how Natural Gas and Aluminum plays have gone here though.

Well with options...you have options. If you can dream it up it can be done...you just have to be creative...that being said you have to have full access.I don't understand why you get to write calls but not puts. Are you allowed to short stock? What if you wanted to put on a cashless collar on the stock owned ?In the end...why not change brokers. If you make your own trades...and do so electronically...then go with ThinkorSwim...the company was created by option traders...what they offer is flat out amazing.In the end - in this day and age - every investor should have the capability to capitalize on every potential investment strategy and investment vehicle available. Stocks, bonds, options, forex, futures, eminis. And entering the trades should be cheap...like under $3 for an option contract. If yours doesn't switch brokers.ThinkorSwim is great in all they offer to the average investor. I use them and Interactivebrokers and have for years.

Yes. I was thinking of addressing this topic specifically and ideas on how to prepare for it in the stock market crashing thread. I'm hesitant at least until the daily chart rolls over.

just email Clayton (gray@footballguys.com)Bob,I see you loading up higher on oil. Compare the oil, natural gas and aluminum charts. Do you really see a lot more to squeeze out of oil?

Stop losses seem silly with this one, but when it goes I set one for 1/2 position very tightly and let the rest ride. Then I'm at the ready with a market order, executing after it starts coming back up off the bottom when the MM take over.Worked so far, but it's harder than hell to time this one on either side. I've missed extended runs and bought back too early. And I've hit it perfect a few times.It's a freaking crazy ride.
 
Guys, I don’t know if this SPNG train is going to derail, or keep chugging upwards to $1, but this stock is pushing 25 cents. I’m not a pumper by any means – I just think this thing may be for real. This company does not appear to be a scam, they actually sell products you can buy on amazon.com. They appear to be growing nicely and getting good distribution channels (Costco, MLB, etc)

I think so. :yes: It looks like China & India are going to, or are, coming out of this much faster than the U.S. Plus this looks eerily familiar to the run up last year. I don't know. I didn't think it would be going this high this fast.I'll be watching closely but my tentative plan is to sell in early August and buy UNG.

You might be right, but it's hard getting excited about sponges (especially a Sponge Bob one). I am going to pass.

You might need a few thousand to soak up any moat spillage. Don't close the door on this one so soon.
