  2. Well, looks like holding some of the FDX puts was a good thing to do in my trading account. Closed the rest of them out for a very nice two day profit.:)

    OIH is dropping prety good still. Didn't get the chance to increase the position this morning. If it drops to 130 today I will be adding to it with more bull calls.

  3. cache,

    perhaps, you jumped the gun a lil on oih eh? I also see nice support at 125-130.

    Nice trade with fedex, i am amazed at how many sectors and issues you are able to follow successfully. :)

  5. Yeah, jumped the gun, but kept the position small in anticipation.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Cheers

  10. Ahhhh... just a regular ATM credit spread. I should have tried to juice a little more out of it. Something closer to about 2.40 but my forecast has the odds in my favor anyway. I'll be monitoring it closely, but I plan on giving it plenty of room to evolve.
