Discussion of short term trades in options. Options can be calls, puts or spreads & are usually held 1 to 30 days. Close positions when they turn profitable. Trades are identified using technical analysis to determine entry points, some fundamental analysis and current news. Proceeds discussed are gross proceeds. Proceeds = gain per share x 100 shares x # of contracts. There may not be a trade every day, the setup has to there or it is better to wait for another day.

JNJ
I like the JNJ 11/60 call but not at the bid/ask. Prefer to buy at 1.30 or less. Bounced off the 50 day moving average and bounced off the trendline. Other technicals look good.
I have been trading options since 1982. Besides having an MBA in finance, BS in marketing/economics, I have a career background in banking and real estate. I have well over 30 years' worth of experience in evaluating investments. Visit my website, www.sweetdreamstradingcompany.com for a free trial
