One Week left in LLEN..code Orange

There is one week until the the end of the current L and L Energy trade. The trade is currently in orange status. It is below what the account paid but higher than the stop loss level. There has been conflicting high profile news on company. The account feels that the stock is primed for a move up due to both fundamental and technical reasons.

The LLEN stock is currently priced at $9.39. It has survived repeated attacks from Strategy Session on CNBC. It seems to have a solid base at $9.00. Red Chip lowered its price target to $17.00 from $19.00.

The Jan $12.50 call has become worthless. So the account has maximized its profit from the call.

The account recommends taking a look at the news for LLEN through Yahoo! Finance. Reports from CNBC, Thestreet.com, SeekingAlpha, and Motley Fool were issued just in the last week.

Overall, if the stock does not hit the stop loss, the account will be looking to sell another call (either Feb or Mar) on LLEN to decrease both the cost basis and stop loss prices.

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!

final day and new capital

Hey everyone

Today is the last day for the November call the account sold. It will most certainly (barring shocking positive news) expire at the end of the day. The question for the account now is to keep the stock and find another call to sell within the stock or sell the stock and find another one with a greater opportunity to make a profit. The research is going on and will continue until a decision can be made. The account will keep the stock until another can be found. Research will be done using Optionsxpress, Yahoo Finance, and various news sites such as cnbc, and Bloomberg.

The account has also added new capital to the account. This should push up the prices available to trade.
