Trade update (Oct/10/2012):
Closed for $1.10 today morning for 145% profit

FB jump after the big drop from last week seemed a bit suspicious. Playing this put debit spread gives us a few days for us to watch FB's direction. If this doesnt go down in the next few days, we will close out this position.

Trade:
Buy 1X $21 Oct put
Sell 1X $19 Oct put
(paid 45c)

TLT weekly, new trade sept/24/2012

TLT (30min, hourly, 4 hour, daily) charts

Looking at purely technical data, we think TLT was going sideways or higher because of the push from the last few days. Selling $121.5 weekly puts looks like a safe way to play TLT.

Sell $121.5 weekly put

Family Dollar Stores, Inc.(NYSE:FDO), new trade sept/24/2012

Trade update (Oct/19/2012):
Expired worhless for  100% of credit profit
________________________________________________________

I have been watching FDO for a long time now to break the downtrend. A lot of metrics are showing that FDO might start the run up again for atleast a few days and we wanted to get in it to atleast get a slow decaying premium on our side. If it continues we will start to get in something stronger on the vertical side. As seen in weekly chart, FDO is in clear uptrend. We have stop losses in place in case this goes against as our max loss is a lot more than max profit.

Akamai Technologies, Inc.(AKAM), new trade sept/13/2012

Trade update (Sep/22/2012):
Closed Trade-1 for 95c for 36% profit
Closed Trade-2 for the max profit of 31c for 45% profit
___________________________________________________

We see that AKAM has been in bullish territory for some time now so it has good chances the momentum will continue to the upside. After a few days of pullback it is now starting to make a move today and we added a few trades for moderate upside. If it continues the rally we may get something for strong upside too. Look for AKAM to close at the highs of the day to ride it through. We have stop losses in place in case this goes against.

Trade-1:
Buy $37 Sept Call - 1.36
Sell $38 Sept Call - 0.66
(Paid 70c)

Trade-2:
Sell $38 Sept Put - 0.5
Buy $37 Sept Put - 0.19
(Got 31c credit)
