It was mostly a red sea on my screen! But, we knew the pullback was coming. I explianed it in detail on a blog post last week and updated it today. I tightened my stops due to those reasons explained. If anyone is interested, you know where to find my work. I am not going to repeat here in the forum (too long and too boring).<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t panic, follow your rules and you will be fine. A lot fo people are now in panic mode. it will be interesting to see the Monday morning open. Don&#039;t sell at the open, wait for the first 10am (or so) bounce and unload IF THAT IS YOUR PLAN.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">What I am worried about is that this crap will offset a great quarter earnings report and will not move the stock down - I saw a few companies that did well yet their stock didn&#039;t go anywhere.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hmm CFC earnings are on the 26th, that could be a very nice short :O. Should be trading down in NFI&#039;s range any week now....</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I am holding VMW into earnings today. Not so comfortable. I am using calls on the long side and distant puts to lower risk. You can say it&#039;s an odd long straddle.</div>

 

[randallg99]

<div class="bbWrapper">I am loaded with Nov and Dec DRYS calls which are very in the money.<br /> <br /> After paper trading some of Kidgas` and The Edge`s strategies, I started pulling the triggers on the long side only to find myself wrapped up in profits before the end of the day. When I found myself ready to hedge the gains, the profits kept climbing. At this juncture, I will probably start looking to close out the Nov calls.</div>

 

[kidgas]

<div class="bbWrapper">Congrats, randall. One of the important things you mentioned is hedging the gains. I think it is important to lock in some profits while giving a stock some room to run. However you choose to do this is up to you, but if I have learned nothing else over the last several years, it is do not lose your capital. <br /> <br /> I picked up some CY today purchasing Nov 30 puts and waiting for a little bump in price to sell the Nov 35 calls. Goal is to gain just over 4% for the month.</div>

Two choices here: execute the shares and hold them or take the gains in the options. I like the company long term.</div>

You never know; it could open and blast to $30 before an order from a small timer like me gets filled.<br /> <br /> I am still holding this month&#039;s VMW calls. Bought them when the stock was trading $100; now at $120. Maybe I am getting greedy but a quick pump can launch this sucker to $140 (that would be an amazing move for my calls). My protective puts are worthless but they were only insurance.<br /> <br /> Still accumulating BX for the longer term and holding several others.</div>
