This is just a short quick note. YRCW announced earnings this morning and the CEO is optimistic and points to positive EBITDA starting 2Q10. Given that the earnings are out and the risk is at least partially removed, I am adding to my position that I highlighted in my blog in January.

- Sell to open Feb $1 puts for $0.45
I think the stock is cheap at these levels.
Good luck!
About Me
- Fahad Khalid
- Chicago, IL, United States
- I have Masters in Business (Accounting and Finance 2003) from Michigan State University. I have been trading the market since 1998. Prior to picking up trading as a full-time career in 2008, I was a management consultant at Alvarez & Marsal and Conway MacKenzie for four years. I provided turnaround, crisis management and restructuring services to financially distressed firms. Prior to working in turnaround, I worked in Audit & Assurance at Deloitte & Touche for two years. Trading in the market has always remained my side business ever since I started college. 90% of the time, I trade through options. I love volatility skews and positive Theta plays. While I make a lot of directional bets, in general my favorites are to take advantage of high implied volatilities through calendar or butterfly spreads and vertical credit spreads. I never buy straight calls or puts and I do a lot of exotic multi-leg option trades.
