You’ll notice I’ve lowered most of the long ratings 1 point. You know how I’ve been positioned for this kind of a bubbliciuos rally int he markets, and there will be another chance to get aggressively long again. The portfolio has had another heckuva run in the last few days on top of the other […]
Latest positions: Steady as she goes
Here’s a list of my latest positions in approximate order from largest to smallest. I give each stock a current rating from 1 to 10, 1 being “Get out of this position now!” and 10 being “Sell the farm, I’ve found a perfect investment” (there will never be a 10 rating, because there is no […]

Latest positions and option ideas for the FB
I was asked earlier this week to include some ideas for options strategies even when I’m personally just buying the common stock. So in regards to Facebook this morning, I’d look at the January 2014 call options with the strike prices at $30 and above, all the way up to say $37.50 or so. Here’s […]

Latest positions + update on Facebook + the best summary of the EU crisis ever
Facebook continues its anti-hate rally for now. It’s up more than 10% from where we stepped in to buy it, trading above $29 earlier this morning. Doesn’t mean that we’ve seen the bottom, but I’m holding my common and calls in it for now too. The calls give me a lot of upside leverage over […]

My latest positions
Not much mojo to the bounce of the lows so far, but we all know that the market is in the business of fooling the most number of people the maximum amount of the time, so it will come when it will come. Some of our best stocks, including Apple, Google and F5 have all […]
Monday morning markets and Latest Positions
Good morning and welcome back to the show, where the stars aren’t always what you should have your eyes on. The broader markets are to open soft again this morning, but they are all still up 1-2% from the lows they opened at on Friday when I’d stepped up and finally started getting aggressive on […]
Trade Alert: Brains and muscle and my latest positions
We’re a team. I’m the brains, she’s the muscle. – David Addison (Moonlighting) I sold 1/3 of my Apollo puts today too. I’m down to about 40% of the original number of puts I had in Apollo, but it remains my largest short simply because these have gone up so much in value. I’m literally […]

Latest positions with ratings for each stock
Good Monday morning to ya. Stocks are down fractionally from the multi-year highs they reached last week but are trying to turn green as the morning wears on. I added to the Apollo puts last week and I’m looking to add to my Sandisk position, either using just common or some longer-dated call options today. […]
Cody’s Latest positions
Pretty strong move in the overall markets here today, with nice breadth (“nice breadth” means that there were a lot of stocks up and not that many stocks down). My overall combined portfolios barely budged today. Those Amazon calls we held despite the sell off after earnings have come back very strong as the stock […]
Making some sells and latest positions
Okay guys, it was another heckuva a week. I sold not quite 1/3 of my EKDKQ for 40% plus profit in less than two weeks. Holding the other 2/3 for now but to reiterate — this is a MUST SELL within the next few trading sessions as the bankruptcy trade has played out again. I […]

Latest positions
Big spike up in the markets this morning, led by tech. We are indeed ending up in that rangebound market into year end that I’d been expecting. The VIX has continued to plummet and we’re down to just a handful of trading days left in the year. Wouldn’t shock me to finally see some year-end […]
