US centric, tech stocks have been killing it! Relatively insulated from tariff threats, a global slowdown and resilient in the face of rising interest rates , small, midcap and large, growth, tech stocks have really been in the sweet spot this year.
OA, can you explain to me your strategy to have a net free hold?oldarmy1 said:
You I bought into RRTS on the positive outlook as a long trade to work into a net free hold.
If I make the decision to enter a stock as a long term hold like this one I look at the fundamentals, volume and breakout potential, and then I accumulate a large volume of shares. When I get an immediate 25% ROI I almost always sell 25% which I will either repurchase 20% lower from the sale or, if the stock continues moving higher I will switch over to selling covered calls unless a continued momentum run gets me close enough to plant it as a net free holding.tramaro1 said:OA, can you explain to me your strategy to have a net free hold?oldarmy1 said:

I imagine the rubberband takes it below that some but with the sales filled at $3.41 to $3.39 I am buying back here at $2.8059 South said:
Pre holiday sell off profit takers this afternoon should offer another entry opportunity for RRTS. Looking at about 2.88 to close today's gap.

SDRL? Popped up on my radar from their % gain. 17k% from a court ruling in their favor apparently. Can't imagine this will stay anywhere close to current prices.
I have no stake and have never heard of them before now.
Planted or working toward planting?what say you said:
OA1, do you have a list of long term holds you can share with us? SWN, CHK, SN, and RRTS are the ones I know you've mentioned. Thanks
The planted list is 217 now. Stocks like NFLX, GOOG, MSFT, JPM, etc. might not be ideal for the net free strategy at this point. That said - I do see some planted stocks like TWTR, I and even the energy trades as high opportunity to appreciate enough over the next year to use a combo strategy and build a nice net free position.leoj said:
Why not both

As for new entries into the approach I posted ZN and RRTS. RRTS did the typical spike and then retreated close to 50% of recent trend. I had sold my first 25% this morning average $3.40 and bought those back at $2.80. The shares came all the way back to that 50% retracement around $3.50 so I bought more.
ZN I have both shares and then I sold naked $4 Puts at $1. Someone was nuts to sell a $1 premium to me which would make my net entry $3 if forced to buy the shares at $4 come July 20. It's trading at $4.14
