Vertical Spreads for Aggressive Growth

Quote from cnms2:

On the one year chart BAC put a classic flat top penant, and its latest upswing is on growing volume. On lower time frames the momentum is upwards too. It seems that the probability of an upwards breakout is higher, and to enter a short swing position I would wait for a confirmation of a reversal, or at least a retracemet.

By the look of todays action, you could be right. This is why I kept the size of this position small and stuck with the 50 strike. I have a stop in mind, so we'll see what happens during the next couple days.:)
 
HPQ looks almost ready to resume uptrend. I see the setup, and I'm watching for an entry signal in the next 1-2 days.

Most of this account is in cash right now and earnings are pretty much behind us. I'll be looking for any good ATM spreads. If anyone knows of a couple potential tickers, feel free to list them.:D

I like the setup, but it is too risky right now. I'm gonna wait with you for the right timing to open a position. Either a break above 34 or below 32.:)

I've also got my eye on AAPL, AMD, and CHK.

Also looking to add more SPX spreads within the next couple days.:)
 
What $SPX spread do you want to open?

Been trying to open some SPX call spreads this morning but I couldn't get filled. I might end up having to leg in if I want to get a good credit.

I was trying for some additional 1340/1350 calls, but I couldn't get filled before the drop today. We'll see where we're at tomorrow, maybe I'll open the put side.
 
I understand now: OTM bear spread, probably May, currently at .6 / 1.15.

I think HPQ is ready to take off.
