Strategic trader, interested in stocks with value and good growth potential, also interested in larger macro trends. I actively trade options and may buy or sell options at any time.

I highly urge everyone to look at the following two websites:
www.ask-socrates.com,
www.armstrongeconomics.com.

I am not affiliated with either site. All I know is they have both helped me tremendously. Best to you in your investments and reaching your goals.

Currently long Apple shares and options. I will update when I change my view.

Today, I have cleared out my long puts and short calls at 115. Apple has held firm on the 92.5 to 93 area. I have aggressively bought Jan 19 '18 110 calls to lower my average cost and to play any bounce back. I have also bought some Apple shares in my retirement account. I think a 5 to 7 dollar bounce is reasonable at this point. Price action is looking better today. I will sell some of the long calls after the move up to recover some of my losses (or potentially profits if we move up enough).
