Extreme Trade Updates (1/22/19) — and New Opportunities
January 22, 2019Overall, we have a good deal of open positions at the moment, and continue to hold most. We’ve also been a bit cautious on issuing a great deal of new trades given the sizable volatility on the markets, especially after the massive decline on the Dow we saw in December 2018.
It’s better to be safe, and pick out the right trades in this market, than risk picking out garbage that sinks the second you buy it. I don’t know about you. But I’d rather be safe in this market right now.
Here’s what we continue to hold.
Square Inc. (SQ) — $59.55 — exiting half
SQ February 2019 60 calls — $4.65 — exiting half
Shares of SQ are now up to $70.45. Consider exiting half of the stock to secure partial win. The move also sent the SQ February 2019 60 calls to $11.40. Consider selling to close half of this trade.
With time decay picking up speed on the SQ February 2019 calls, let’s also buy to open the SQ March 15, 2019 75 calls at market prices. This option last traded at $3.90.
