There is a conference that that the company is participating in next week. So there could be some movement based on news.

Earnings are normally around this time in the quarter.

Feb 10 trade opportunity

Hey everyone

In doing research for the next trade, the account has found a stock Immunomedics (IMMU,) that currently has a very high time value placed on its calls. The Feb 5.00 call is being bid at $0.35.

Since the stock is only at $4.50 range, this provides a decent opportunity for call sellers to pick up some call revenue with the opportunity of picking up trading profits should the stock push past $5.00.

The positive move on the stock seems to be made because of good news (go to yahoo.com) related a blood test for cancer that they have been running.

The call selling account does not have an active trade on this company.

new capital

New capital has been invested into the the trading account. Projections show that the account will be able to make higher revenue generating trades as capital increases.

Fourth trade finished

The account just finished with the fourth trade with positive results. The stock ended up closing on Friday below the strike price. Therefor, the option that was sold expired worthless. The option revenue was 6.7% of the stock purchase price.

The stock was also up 6.7% from where it was originally purchased. It is strange that both numbers ended up being the same amount percentage wise.

The fact that the stock is closer to the strike price has helped the time value increase in the next trade.
