Break Time

Going on break for about a week, need to launch the new site

Portfolio value at about $20,000

wk 16 update 1

$50 off of All time Highs set yesterday

Week 15 Update

Down $1,482 Total Value $22,295/122%

Today my portfolio decided to take its lead from the broader markets, which meant big losses. The total loss for the day was $1,482 leaving the total value of the portfolio at $22,295, which is off of the high just set yesterday at $23,795. The converse relationship that my portfolio is beginning to make with the general markets, is why I need to sell-off the remainder of the portfolio.

52 Week High, Year to Date High, All Time High Week 15 update 3: 2 Day winning Streak.

Gain $58

Well the broader markets may have suffered losses but my portfolio still continues to make gains, although today's gains were moderate. At the close of the market the portfolio was up $132, but after commissions from selling off my other positions (the ones mentioned in the previous post) the true gain was only $58 (better than a loss of 58). I will continue to sell-off positions and begin to revert to my previous strategy of buying puts on equities, because I believe that equities are overvalued when viewed in a time period of 3-6 months, even in this SLIGHTLY bearish environment.

Week???????????(15) update 1 I'm Back

Alright I haven't posted frequently in about 3 weeks (new site) so I'm going to update more.The portfolio is near all-time highs @ 21,031. I did sell a few positions and add more since the last update. Most likely I will sell off the remaining positions and revert back to the strategy I was previously using (buy puts and sell at 20%). I've employed a new options strategies that I havent used yet, the straddle. I'm probably going to also include some neutral strategies, iron condor butterfly spread, short straddle, etc (but I'm not neutral on the market I'm still bearish and have been bearish since November). Take a look at the portfolio snapshots for a more in-depth analysis of the portfolio. I have positions in :
DBA
DBC
DBE
DBP
DIG
GSG
MTL
OIH
SDS
UNG

You will need to visit one of these agencies with 2 photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship (which may be either a certified birth certificate or previous passport).

Week 12 ALL TIME Highs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UP 110% on the year

Today was a great day! My portfolio made up all it's losses and then closed at all time highs $21,942. My portfolio picked up $4,495 in value, in one day. The positions I added yesterday contributed heavily to the portfolio's success today. I do plan to take some profits after yesterdays lesson. My portfolio's value yesterday was about 17,000 and now today its up to 21,000. This shows you the risk and reward options have.

Big Day.................................Down Week 12 Update 1, Fully Invested

Down $2,595 (Yikes)

Well the day wasnt pretty I was expecting to lose on these positions this week but all at once. I took the down day on commodities as a buying opportunities and I used most of my capital on $62 left. The portfolio was down 2,595 I knew the portfolio would have probably been down this week but I was thinking 1,500 and over the course of 5 days not 1 !!! I do believe the commodities are still what you want to be in and I will take the decline as an opportunity to buy more if I can raise more capital (as the case was for FXE and SDS I sold to get more capital to trade with). Dont panic and be patient it will come back!

The Streak Has Ended Down Day! Week 11 update & some Week 12 Trades

Down $196

So it was a rough day for my portfolio which is down about $200 today. DBA and DBC traded down so I took that as an opportunity to add-on to my positions. DBP was up on the day but I decided not to wait any longer for the down turn and also added on to that position. The broader Market was down, which caused a lot of good stocks to trade down, so I actually bought calls on stocks (its been awhile). I placed a vertical Bull Spread on MTL MON and MOS. I bought 1 Mos Apr08 110 Call then sold after a few minutes because I decided that the bull spread is more appropriate, the same thing was done with MTL except I purchased the wrong month (I got March instead of April). I'm waiting on a decline in POT so I can enter a position. I have more trades on the way so visit often. Oh yea Congratulations to the Georgia Bulldogs on a great Win over Ole Miss, Next game today vs. Kentucky @ 9:45 Goooo Dawgs!

Wk 11 update in a few

Still Going Up Week 11 Update 3

$300 Gain
Although the Dow Nasdaq and S&P All closed to the downside, the DBC ETF kept going. DBC closed with a 1% percent change, bucking the trend of the broad equities makret.
DBC Position:
+11 Apr08 36Calls +240%

DBA was down slightly on the day, about .36%. It's not as great as the DBC ETF but it's still performing
DBA Position:
+3 Apr08 40Calls +71%
+2 Apr08 41Calls +42%

Yes, folks I'm still in DBP. Its been a slow mover but I only have 1 call option purchased (I was looking to buy more on a downturn).
DBP Position:
+1 Jul 08 31Call +3.15%

These trades are up a combined 120%.

Also I'm looking to get into the energy trade, but I'm not sure if I'll purchase the DBE or just trade the commodities separately. I think UGA UNG or DIG (the leveraged Oil and Gas ETF) will looked very attractive with a pull-back.

Monster Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Portfolio up 100% DBC up 200%+ ALL TIME HIGH

Big day on Wall Street. My portfolio has hit All-Time Highs (Again) @ $20,124. Basically I have doubled my portfolio in LESS than 3 Months (CRAZY). My portfolio is only supposed to be up about $15,000. Im probably going to still stick with these ETFs.

The DBA ETF up 4% my options position on DBA up 67%
DBA Postion:
OPT +3 APR 08 40C up 80%
OPT +2 APR 08 41C up 50%
Total 67%

The DBC ETF was up about 1.5% but my options position is up 210% +$2,310 (Amazing)
DBC Position:
OPT +11 APR 08 36C up 210%

The DBP ETF up about .5% but the options position is down about 4% ($53)
