EXAS trade 25% done
There are a little under 13 weeks left on this trade.
The stock has lost about 45 cents due to the company successfully selling 3.5 million more shares into the market at a price of $4.5o. Please see the previous post about that. The stock is still over its moving averages.
Earnings has normally been been issued in the second month of the quarter. It has been announced that the company will release its earnings for the last quarter in the first week of May.
The option has dropped in value to a $0.50 bid to $0.60 ask. The option's value has dropped by more than half.
The account put in a buy order with Optionsxpress to cover the call and lock in a profit of over 50% of the call value in just 25% of the time involved. The order price is currently below the bid so the option has to come down a little before the order is executed. The account will have to adjust the stop loss amount to reflect the overall decrease in revenue if the trade is executed.

trading software Optionsxpress
Hey
So the account uses Optionsxpress for some of its screening tools. In the process, the account stumbled upon a platform they have that is dedicated to covered calls. It has been a real useful tool and has given the account insight into certain details like percentage gain if assigned among others. This has created a more focused list of stocks from which to choose.
A special thank you goes out to Optionsxpress. Your accessibility and continued software improvement has made the account's trading life much easier to understand.

Ideas for next trade
The current trade will end on March 19 if the shares do not get assigned before then. As of right now, the stock of the current trade is below the strike price.
So with three weeks left, it is time to look for new opportunities if the shares do get assigned.
Three stocks hit the account's radar this morning. JA Solar, and Pacer International currently show an opportunity for the account to buy stock and sell calls in the month of April.
But there are three weeks before expiration of the current trade. So the account will periodically check its radar screen from Optionsxpress to update any further opportunities the account might have.

8 weeks to go on current trade
There are eight weeks to go on the current trade. The stock has fallen to the price that the account bought the stock. The price of the call has dropped by over 50% since the account sold it. The stock will have to rise 15% to reach the March strike price.
Using our technical analysis tools from Yahoo Finance and Optionsxpress, the stock is showing to be in a trading range that is above the account's base price and stop loss sell price for the stock.
The stockholders of the company did vote to allow the company to expand its total number of common shares by 65%. This was done to help give the company the opportunity to product partner with larger companies in its industry. The company is currently testing products that will have results published in the next six months (according to the company.)

Happy New Year
Hey everyone
First, happy new year! Let's see if we can create some wealth this year. The account will continue to focus on selling calls as a means of profit. There are some positive signals that the account should have a better 2010 than 2009. It is better funded at this point of the year compared to last year. Also, the account has also traded a few times and recognizes the need to adapt and follow rules better. These two items alone should produce positive results for the account.
The account will continue to use Optionsxpress and Yahoo Finance as major sources of information. It will also use sites like Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha, CNBC, and any other sites that provede relative information on the companies/stocks being traded.
Again, happy new year!
