Week 3 Trades Big Week Lots of News (Risky)

This week I’m not fully invested, I’m not even invested with half the capital. I have about $4,000 invested, 4 picks each about $1,000 each. I have only 4 picks because I should be able to get out of them relatively quickly and then have more capital to speculate with, on the earnings and major economic news coming out this week. All the picks have a stop of 20% marked to the option (so when the value of the option goes 20% or above the position is automatically sold).

My trades for week 3 are:

BBY/Electronics stores
Feb 45 Put/BBYNI





MMM/Conglomerates
Feb 80 Put/MMMNP





MSTR/Business software and svcs
Feb 75 Put/EOUNO






NICE/Computer peripherals
Feb 30 Put/EQJNF
