GekkoTrader: Bear Call Spreads (BRCS)- AMX, CHL & EEM
http://gekkotrader.blogspot.com/2008/10/bear-call-spreads-brcs-amx-chl-eem.html
THINK GREEN $ $ Welcome to GekkoTrader's options trading journal.Let us trade, grow and learn together…Happy Trading! Thursday, October 2, 2008. Bear Call Spreads (BRCS)- AMX, CHL and EEM. CHL- Oct 55/60- similar chart to AMX with a downward channel and the last 2 days bullish (for higher premium on the calls). The volatility on the options chain is very high with the front month near 77.53%. The current credit is $0.85, but I'll place my order at $0.95 and watch it today. What do you look when you scan?

THINK GREEN $ $ Welcome to GekkoTrader's options trading journal.Let us trade, grow and learn together…Happy Trading! Wednesday, September 24, 2008. I am doing this reluctantly but I promised Mojo (my trading friend and mentor from www.insanemoney.com) that I would write this post this morning since I've avoided it for 2 days. First of all, I need to acknowledge Mojo for having faith in me that trading can happen. Also, thanks for calling me out whenever I don't follow my rules! The answer is NOTHING!
