Hi Madmax,
ReplyDeleteEverything is "great" with AAPL..BUT market is "overbought" & Option Expiry on Friday...
As AAPL is "heavily weighted" in Nasdaq...so when nasdaq goes down for OE..AAPL has to go down....

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteNot a bad strategy..considering that market is creeping deeper into "oversold" territory......
I will keep tinkering with "shorts" & close out daily....
I am extremely "defensive" also...only 1 stock & that also covered with call...
