No I am still here. I am keeping a snapshot of my covered PUTs trades and hanging on there. I did not want to weekly post them to annoy some people !. One day I might re-post them here . What I know is that : 1- MCD sales in Japan tumbled 10% last month ( google the news). 2- MCD is selling bod...

What are you talking about? Is this site only for "short and get burnt and then get lost? " None of my trades are dead. If you are looking for excitement and fun, trading is not for you. Profitable trades are very boring.

Today's trades. GLD options are equity covered.

That is exactly why I am shorting it. Because this king is a puppet. I will patiently wait for this king to topple when the rotten smell of bad results become overwhelming. Meanwhile I will keep chipping away some profit by trading options while I am well aware of the risk and I cannot reduce...

You heard that MCD had an impressive results this quarter and analysts were amazed. Well, check out my snapshots from their earnings. I have not made up those numbers. US sales is up 0.9% (noise) and revenue and earnings are all down in the last quarter and last 9 months. earning is up because...

I strongly disagree. Most available/accessible ? yes but Most popular? No.

Good point. My long term view on MCD is "extinct". However I never short a stock and let it go. I sell PUT. Actually the situation that you mentioned has happened before. I have sold PUT and the shares were assigned and then I sold Call (look at the history of my trades).

I have 850K purse cash sitting in different one year CDs like CIT, Syncrony bank and I am making 1.25% per year. If you know any investment who absolutely no risk which gives me 2% a year and is liquid, I am all ears. (my point is such an investment does not exist. Even for CD, they don't...

If trading were as easy as looking at the charts :) I am short and since then MCD has been up 10% and I am up 25%. Go figure out how I am doing it. If MCD was down 10%, probably I would have made 40%. So no loss in my case. I will only lose if AAPL has a hostile take over of MCD for $150 per...

A good article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/3580386-mcdonalds-all-day-breakfast-initial-success-will-be-overshadowed-by-long-term-despair?auth_param=e2r4:1b27r2q:13ea94207e05559024e25ba67ae763e7&uprof=44

UPDATE 1-McDonald's close to decision on structure of U.S. real estate-WSJ (Adds McDonald's comments, details) Oct 15 (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp <MCD.N> is close to deciding what, if anything, to do with its massive U.S. real estate holdings, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday...

It was also one of the news that I get free from IB that now MCD is seriously evaluating selling its real estates. Let me see if I can find it or ont. I believe it was the same day that I posted since I got that rumor from another source.

Strong rumor is that MCD has already decided to sell its real estates. Guess breakfast was not that helpful.

Nice man. I don't believe this rally has legs. We will see another fall soon.

I 100% agree with you on biotech. you can search my postings and you will find that I said many months ago bear market will start with biotech and it is overvalued. As you said shorting it is very profitable and riskier than MCD. MCD is in a saturated industry and is like an old dog.

Today ADI popped. Tomorrow I will get rid of all my ADI shares with a nice profit and will consider shorting it.

You call shorting MCD a bad idea and then call biotech as a good short? biotech is overvalued but if you short biotech your ass might get grilled and delivered to your hands !! You find a biotech company and see it has -$10 loss in a year and then the stock gone up from $20 to $80 in 3 months...

Read between the lines. profit for breakfast is much lower than burger. That means that people are buying burgers less. MCD sales has slumped 27% compared to 2007.

My trades today. I don't like these trades in terms of price. Once I sold 13 PUTs, the stock dropped. I could have sold it at much better price if I waited another couple of hours.

No I don't.
