@Terra Incognita:I closed $GOOG 20240426 170.0 CALL$ ,GOOG: collected full premium of 0.8% over 25 days when this covered call went into money. The strike was set pretty high at $170 at the point of my selling this covered call was only at $156. However earnings announced on 25th April were really good and GOOG went up 10% above the strike so I’ve sold the shares as part of being called away. Happy to let them go at 22% profit for those shares as I collected them at $139 back in Mar through cash secured puts. GOOG looks overbought at the moment and I think it might go sideways or corrects a bit lower should the general market is on the weaker side. Will monitor how I trade this counter moving forward.
@Asphen:"Economy worrying" PPI actually pushed SPY above 412! Closed strong and looks to gun for 416! - Impressive showing by the bulls on Thursday to break through 412 (Low volume melt-up continues!) - Still in controlled buying channel - Good retail sales numbers on Friday might bring it to test 416! - Unlikely to break 416 even though 420/421 had been the target level (based on many indicators) - Thursday closed strong with no bears in sight My watch - (Refer 5mins chart) Last night was in a buy channel from 10pm so it was meant to be bullish - Key Friday is to see if the trend channel continues ==> any change would mean back below 412 - Continued bullish (Retail sales 830pm) might continue to the climb - Will see trading range 412 to 416 As previous sharing, cautiously bullish for now.
