Seeping Matter

Disclaimer

Without disclosing amounts I’m going to list positions I’m in as of the start of each month. At least I’m going to try. Then I’ll see how that plays out in terms of a return on a per-month basis.

AAPL:
Short 2 AUG 155/160 vertical put spread
Short 3 SEP 145/150 vertical put spread
Long 2 JAN10 150 LEAP
I’m generally bullish on AAPL, although I need to do a better job of trading the near-term fluctuations.

AEMD:
Long 5000 shares
AEMD is my swing-for-the-fences play.

AOB:
Long 4 JAN10 5 LEAP
Got a buy indicator on AOB. Plan is to start selling spreads on the fluctuations.

BIDU:
Short 1 AUG 300/310 vertical put spread
Short 1 SEP 380/390 vertical call spread

FSLR:
Long 1 AUG 240/250/280/290 iron condor

ISRG:
Short 1 AUG 260/270 vertical put spread
Long 1 JAN09 250 LEAP

RIG:
Short 1 AUG 155 call
Short 2 SEP 125/130 vertical put spread
Long 1 SEP 145 call
Long 1 JAN10 145 LEAP
The long SEP 145 call is the remainder of a straddle I did at 145. RIG then moved down significantly, and I sold the 145 put for nearly the whole sum of the cost of the straddle. I’m planning to hold the 145 call through earnings. RIG tends to kill on earnings.

SLV:
Long 150 shares

UA:
Short 2 AUG 22.5/25 vertical put spread
Long JAN09 20 LEAP

I’m also in iron condors in DIA and SPY that are autotraded by Red Option. Out of respect to Red Option I won’t disclose those positions.
