What to buy next
Today I decided to close two trades that I set up a few weeks ago.
The first one was the Goldman Sachs trade played with deep-in-the-money calls. $140 October calls were bought at $31 each and sold today slightly above $50. I decided to close this trade simply because a 65% return in 3 weeks is very good and I don’t want to risk it going into earning season. The stock however is behaving amazingly well and there is no technical reason to sell GS even at this level. In fact, if GS drops down to the 10-week line, I will be the first one to buy it again.
The second trade I closed is the CTRP trade. This stock too was played with deep-in-the-money October $50 calls. I cashed in a 20% return. In this case the stock is struggling a little bit at the $60 level and I didn’t feel comfortable holding it anymore given the fairly weak price-action.
Tomorrow I am going to be looking for the next buy candidates so stay posted for another great recommendation.
