Quick note: The run has been fast and furious. We got in June $16 calls at $1.55 and closed half position with 64% profit after 4 days at $2.55. As the stock is trading above $18.90 this morning, I am closing the other half at $3.05 for nearly 100% profit. My target remains $20, but we're not going to get there in a straight line.
Will wait for a pullback back under $18 to get back in.
Booyah!
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.
