Bought More OCZ Shares

After the cataclysmic drop that happened on Wednesday, it was decided that more shares would be bought. Today Sell The Call bought more shares of OCZ. The shares were purchased for $1.67. The reason for the purchase is that the new cost basis would be at a point where whether through a buyout or positive business dealings, the stock will move past that point in the next 6-12 months. This should allow for more call selling in the near future.

Big Week For Sell The Call Shares

This week will be an important week for both Alcoa and OCZ Technology. Both report earnings (Alcoa on the 9th, OCZ on the 10th). There should be some trading going on after both releases.

If Alcoa can show a decent number (current estimates have a profit of $0.01 per share), and positive guidance, the stock could move into a position that would enable Sell The Call to sell calls on the shares it currently owns. As the closest timeframe for a decent trade isn't until the April calls, Sell The Call is holding off for now.

OCZ will be reporting earnings with new management. This could go either way. Sell The Call is expecting a large (20 +) percentage move in either direction. If the release is positive, expect Sell the Call to sell another call on the shares owned. If it is not, expect Sell The Call to sell the shares as it will probably be a Code Red situation.
