Today’s Transactions:
Opened a position in DRYS averaged at $90.16 Stop-loss if the stock is closed below $75
Reason: This is an old friend. Recently the stock has dropped sharply due to weakness in the futures market and it seems the selling pressure was over and the futures market is stabilized. The valuation of the stock still looks attractive.
Added more SOHU averaged at $58.46
Shorted more SOHU Jan 08 50 Call at $11.00
Reason: This covered trade aims to get the premium embedded in the option price, which I believe is a better way than simply holding cash. As long as the stock is closed above $50 before the OE day in January, there is around $2.50 premium to earn ( $50 + $11 – $58.46 ), which represents more than 40% annual return rate ( 2.5/(58.46-11) then annualize )
