CREE calendar
#Earnings Kind of asleep at the wheel today, got to earnings very late. Buying a $CREE 58.5dub cal – will post details in a moment.
SPX 1-dte
#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Aug 21st 2840/2850-2945/2955 condors for .55. 10-wide, double sized. IV 14.15%, 2906.
Closed Aug 21st 2900/2925 call spreads of ra loss at 12.00. Sold for 5.00 last week. Let this run too long, but at least a pullback came today. A weakness in my strategy I must address.
POINT AND FIGURE CHART:
CSII BROKE A DOUBLE TOP WHEN IT BROKE 50.0, A BUY SIGNAL.
OSTK FORMED AND BROKE DOUBLE TOP TODAY, WHEN IT BROKE 20.0, LIKEWISE A BUY SIGNAL. I don’t like this stock though, and usually bet against it, but I don’t fight the CHARTS. I own some short 20.0 calls.
