Trading Around
This is trader's market. If you are a buy and hold (or buy and pray) investor, bad luck.
I did several trades around my positions in the last several months:
Facebook (FB) was selling put and call out of money options. Unfortunately, the last call option ($86 on Jul 31) was exercised, so effectively I sold part of the position for $88. Less profit than expected.
Polaris (PII): Added to position at 143 some time ago, sold at 150 before earnings, bought back several days ago at 133.
Raytheon (RTN): Added to position in June at 100, sold lately at 110.
I'm going to continue such trades, that's the only way to make money in current market. Yes, Google (GOOGL) and Facebook made money for me, but with everything else down or flat, that's not enough.
Author has long positions in FB, GOOGL, PII, RTN
Thanks for sharing, but would be great if you could elaborate on these trades.
