Is there a way to capitalize on the car repo issue? Just briefly chatted with an involved PE group that said volumes are started to increase in the auction territory up north.
That's a great question. I did some googling and ran across this penny ticker.
REPO
I can see this thing being pumped and dumped in the near future if/when this becomes a leading headline.

Sold FSLY at 10.44, made a humble $170. Wouldve held until Prog's magnanimous signal to sell but I need some zzzs. Cheers
Followed, I'm out. Thanks for the idea Prog, made weekend money.
Front ran for a lotto. Bought yesterday and exited today. Congrats to those that shorted.

I am once again in a green trade that I don't know when to exit.
In sept '12 415 SPY puts. Currently up ~20%.
The conservative capital preservation trader that FJ harps on tells me to sell and who cares what the market does. It will present another opportunity shortly.
To quote 30K... don't let a green trade go red.
The greedy side of me doesn't want to leave profit on the table.
What do I do?

Sell enough to go net free then a stop limit to lock in the profit you would like. After net free, anything left is profit.
How many contracts? Can you leave a runner?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
You could sell half (or more) now and use initial purchase price as a mental stop for the remaining contracts. You could also sell them all now and roll a portion into puts with a bit lower strike as runners.

Yeah if you have 5 sell 4 and keep 1 net free. If you have less than 5 set a trailing stop on all and take the profit if it hits. Or just take the 20% what's the matter with you!? Opex shenanigans =/= broken trend
Set a trailing stop to exit green no matter what. Just my 2 cents.
FWIW my guess is more downside to go yet. How much don't know. Could always reverse hence the trail.
I just bought some next week 416P at .77. Lotto size. 20 contracts for me. I'll take them off if we confirm reversal.

Right now I have a trailing stop of 30 cents.
I'll just tell you what I think.
This is still up trending and you're pretty far OTM at 415. I don't think this is the last opportunity to buy puts, but you're going to deal with theta decay very soon.
The fact that you don't know what to do tells me that you don't have a plan for the trade and by extension, you don't have proper risk management.
If you have 5 contracts, at a minimum, sell 2, and set your stop to B/E on the rest.

Here is a trade plan. I'm only doing this because you need to learn.
Sell 2 now at +20%, move stop to B/E
Sell 2 more at +40%, move stop to +20% or leave at B/E
Sell 2 more at +60%, move stop to +40%
Sell 2 more at +100%, move stop to either +50% or B/E, hold remainder as runners to see what you can get.

94 is a key level
Thank you for posing this question. The discussion is great for the edu part of this.
Could also consider taking most or all of the profit on the puts and rolling down to a lower strike with a portion of profits. I'm less inclined to hold anything over a weekend though. May want to re-evaluate any subsequent entries on Monday.

If you own OXY, consider holding your shares. I'm not giving Warren Buffett any of mine.

For today: don't be a dumbass but I would like to point out the last couple of OPEX sessions have rallied bigly at 2:30 into the close.
If we start clearing 4245, I think that's a possibility.
Loss of 4225 can unleash some sell.

Hey 30k, since you're taking some time away... any chance you'd moonlight an hour or 2 as a career counselor compensated in the currency of your choice? Your insight into the corporate world is impressive.
Bro, I'll just give you my cell phone number and we can chat. You're an ag, but I would never charge for that anyway.
