Going to take a quick 5.3% gain on VDSI and start to wind down all positions (except GPI longer term hold) into the Fed tomorrow, I will start to build positions again Thursday morning. Got leaning the wrong way the last cut, but luckily caught an overextended AMZN.

Sold all my UA stock (500 shares) at $62.00, still think it may reach $65 later this year but after exiting my option position at a profit and making over $4 per share on the stock sale it was too juicy to pass up. If it happens to drop back under $58 again anytime soon I will restablish my position. Makes me wish I had bought more this morning when it dipped in the the $56 and change range. Well as Cramer would say, "hogs get slaughtered". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well I left a lot of money on the table by pulling the trigger too soon on UA so as stubborn as I am I bought 3 Nov $65 UA puts (UAWL) FOR 1.39/ net cost after buying and selling the puts my profit point is anything over $1.56.

Right now the bid/ask is $1.55/$1.75 so here goes nothing. lol

Am entering SIRI at $3.53 and XMSR at $14.70.

[/ QUOTE ]


Tripled my position in XMSR so am averaged down to $13.70 per share. Doubled my position in SIRI and am averaged down to $3.39 per share.

Sold my UAWL puts for $2.50 each, total profit on this trade of +$282.00 Doesn't quite makeup for me exiting UA to early yeaterday when I was long but it gets back some of that mistake of having an itchy trigger finger. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

After an 7.5% gain on VDSI today (factoring out the 1% gain at open) I will be picking up Global Sources Ltd (GSOL) tomorrow morning.
