All retail will be thru $AMZN in the future…… right?
From ZeroHedge a month ago – Fitch’s Loans of Concern list, which is a compilation of issuers with a significant risk of default within the next 12 months. And, just to make the tracking of future defaults easier, Fitch also provided the list of eight other retailers with term loan debt totaling nearly $6 billion, which are also on its concern list, and are most likely to be in default in the not too distant future. They are as follows:
Sears Holdings Corp (roughly $2.5 billion);
99 Cents Only Stores LLC;
Charming Charlie LLC;
Gymboree Corp.;
Nine West Holdings Inc.;
NYDJ Apparel LLC;
rue21, Inc.; and
True Religion Apparel Inc.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is this close to being the world’s richest man.

$LB ShortPuts #FallingKnife – today…
$LB ShortPuts #FallingKnife – today I covered a short May 50.0 Put at a point that I originally sold for 1.20.
Despite the fact that it is out of the money 2 points with 3 weeks to go, in early April the stock collapsed to 43.04 before gaining it all back recently.
I decided I don’t need added the risk on this name because I am still short Aug 45 and 42.5 Puts and Nov 32.5 Puts that are nicely profitable.
One of my unwritten rules is if a Put that I sold for 1.20 gets up to 7 or 8 dollars and then gives me a chance to get out ahead, I take it, and don’t look back.
I would have taken the stock if it had stayed down. The current move shows why that would have worked too.

# falling knife. I was…
- falling knife. I was hoping TSO would rebound off the 77-78 level. However it is starting to look like a falling knife trade. I have my cost basis down below 82 and have sold and 83 call. If it rebounds I will have a good profit. If it continues to drop I will collar it by adding some long-term puts. If anybody else is following this trade, it tends to rebound hard when it finds a bottom. I have seen it run 77-90 in the course of a week. If I were taking this trade now, I would probably buy stock and then sell a call credit spread at the money so you could have some unlimited upside.
