$CAT Bear Call Exit

3/23/2016

The sharp rally we experienced over the past several weeks claimed another  victim in my portfolio.   back on 2/7 I sold the MAR62.5/65 call spread in $CAT.  I collected .87 per contract and had a 68% chance of the trade going in my favor.  Well, it was the 32% that came to be, as CAT participated in the monster rally over the last few weeks.    I closed this trade a loser.  Paying 2.52 per contract to close the spread, thats a net loss of 1.65 per contract.    We define our risk and position size to play another day, and thats what I'll do.

    About AA

       A career in  media and all I walked away with was this goofy nickname.  A veteran of the radio industry, I became tired of the insecurity of constant consolidation in an industry that has found itself in perpetual decline.  Like most, I began trading long stock, with mixed results.  I have since learned the value of selling premium against long positions, as well as selling premium with slightly more advanced option strategies like vertical spreads and Iron Condors.  I use Chaikin Analytics to identify both long opportunities and bullish and bearish opportunities to sell premium.  

    Thanks for following along at home.  I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to leave a comment in the comments section!  

    ​Happy Trading!
