Hi Thomas. Here you go. https://www.fullyinformed.com/3-steps-to-handling-a-failing-trade-archer-daniels-midland-stock-adm-earnings-miss/ This is a small loss but it can be easily rectified, so if it is easy, why not do it. I don’t like taking losses. https://www.fullyinformed.com/3-steps-to-handling-a-failing-trade-archer-daniels-midland-stock-adm-earnings-miss/
How did you get assigned at $112? I don’t recall any Apple Trades where I was selling puts at $112?
Got it Tom. LOL. Been there and done that. I thought maybe there was something I missed that you didn’t. Could be a chance next week still to profit from this trade. I still am watching for a chance at selling the 12.00 put strike.
Can you outline the Ford trade you did? My trade was for naked puts for Ford at $12 or $12.50 if the stock dipped. The LinkedIn and Gilead trades were beauties but I kind of think Amazon stole the show!
Nice trade on a great company.
An incredibly busy day! I couldn’t post a single article I was so swamped. Some days it is hard to write and trade at the same time. Today was one of those days! I will be writing this evening however.
There are a number of articles laying out this strategy on my site. I will get you some links.
Right now just holding. I will add more if the stock falls deeply. I will also sell Covered Calls if needed.
Hey Jim, this is a great little post. I am going to move it over to the website this evening. Too many investors don’t take advantage of the tools their brokers offer. Thanks so much for posting this!
I just noticed your posting Thomas. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. As all my friends continue to age we spend more time at funerals and hospitals than we do at reunions, parties or weddings which I very much love. But it is impossible to have warm friendships without there also being loss and pain. I am not deeply religious but I do believe at some point we will all see the maker and our family, loved ones and friends so funerals and hospitals are just part of life. Someday we will all end up there. One of my favorite shows was Mad Men. There is a great scene in that show when Don Draper tells his friend Roger that life is a story that “ends badly”. I love that line. Thanks again Tom. I appreciate your taking time out to think of me.
Still working on it for Desi
Thanks for spotting it. I got about 200 emails within 2 minutes of posting the article. LOL. Naturally the word “not” was missing.
