magic journal of doom

Well the last contract filled earlier to close out my order. Now I am sitting +15 Jun 17.5 which protect my short 10 May 17.5 calls and the +5 will earn good premium if the stock goes up as we get closer to May exp. Only 3 more days left for my short straddle and the stock price is in a very tight range. I am planning to keep the position to exp if the price is within +-.75 of 18 on Friday 5/9/08.

more research VNDA,ARRY,EXEL,
 
holding steady not much happening except the market is down today. My holding didn't change. This is probably going to be the case for the next few days. GTXI cant decide which way it wants to go which is good for me. my position is build for neutral-bullish moves.
 
what turn out to be a quiet day in GTXI turn into a less quiet day. Anyways the stock took a dive near the close for a -.88 cent. That concerned me a little until I saw the enemic volume today at only 176K and the responsible volume for the drop 12K-15K totalled. The average for the past 3 month is 500K/day. So I sat back and contemplate earnings and conf call on monday.
 
cramer almost gave me the kiss of death earlier today. someone called in and ask about GTXi and he had no idea what type of company it is. So he passed. Hopefully he keep his mouth shut till after I unwind my position.:D
 
good Friday!!!!

Well it is decision Friday, so I will post my actual position not just open P/L. Earnings will be coming on Monday morning and still waiting for the PIN trial announcement(which is due anytime now). The stock is pinning to around 17.5 as I expected. If there is no huge movement today I am planning to maintain all my position as is till next Friday(exp.). If there is considerable movement in the underlying or in option OI then I'll adjust accordingly later in the day.

no fireworks today, I am maintaining my position as is. Monday will be a telling day with earning and conference call. No plan for the weekend yet.
 
so far so good today earning was in line and nothing off the wall in the conference call. looks like my short strangle will exp out of the money on Friday and give me all the premium. I am trying to close out my short straddle @1 or less by Friday or else I'll let it be assigned if the put is ITM, I'll definately buy back the call if its in the money on Friday. TRMS is a good div play next week. stay tune.
 
I got to hit a few balls at the range today, after the conf call, came back saw no wild fluctuation in the stock. No PIN trial prelim result for another week or two. I am planning to buy back the strangle for .3 or less, the straddle for 1.0 or less and hold on to my long call for another week then dump it or adjusted it depending on if the PIN result happen or not next week. Nothing else to report. oh and my estimated account ROI is 53% as of today since 4/21/2008.
