CLOSING $FDX Options Action trade - mike

17aug - still waiting on those "constant trade updates" from cnbcoptions on twitter? keep waiting. and while you are doing that this trade will be a max loss if you held the entire time to opex today with the stock near 90. if you bought as an earnings catalyst you should have either booked profits right after or sold a higher strike put (spread it out)


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30july - no dancing bears or surfing goats on Options action on this trade either, this options now going for about $1.00 with 3weeks till opex and the stock near 90.75, so you are down about 60% if you are still holding...maybe those constant-trade-updates that cnbc advertises will kick in soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19jun - just checked to see how this trade is doing, didnt realize earnings were so soon. good example of being correct on direction hence the $3 move today but the IV crush kills what at first glance seemed like a good win...just checked and that option for 2.50 is now worth 2.80..not exactly a big win after seeing that move this morning. might look to sell the aug 95's against them for 1.65ish to lock some of the move in if you followed.

17jun- mike has a trade on Fed-ex on this weeks show, spends a good deal of time laying out  the fundamental case for this. and of course it wouldnt be a show without the ol Carter Worth 15year chart, heres the clip video

Buy the Aug 92.50 call for $2.50

scott notes that it will take a big move for this options to be profitable at opex, i think thats some captain obvious shit, but if stock pops 2-3 bucks on some news then so will this option. im sure most will not be holding it till opex. mikes on-air trades in a google docs spreadsheet
