NetAp hitting 52 week low

hardware sector downgraded today.  NetAp given outperform rating...

Happy Trading...

Did RAX just give us a great covered call setup

picking up the equity at 32 and some change or below.  Selling the Jan 11 32 calls at 5 or better.  Holding if your risk level is higher and selling 32s when RAX is back above 35-36...

RAX 38 Dec Calls and More Value Options!

Buy Buy Buy... Even spread over Dec and Jan...  Beating Expectations, great business model... It's all about the cloud.

37 Calls are actually up in this turmoil...

APPL 500s are below 3!  However, I would take advantage of this mess and buy additional time into 12.

TNK is obviously down but now looking at a 17% return dividend.

SIRI is in the 1.70's  2$ LEAPS!

GOOG at 565...

APPL at 365...

VMW, etc. etc...

I would start some layering if the DOW hold 11000 today.

Happy Trading...

So what do we do now?

let's see what happens tomorrow... futures off over 200 points right now.  There will be a lot of fear this week.  I'm still looking at RAX 37 38 39's for dec...  Will wait for the dust to settle first.  PUTS on the indexes was a good call.  short term treasuires may raise rates bur the ten year is what normal mortgages are tied to.  We'll have to sort through this over the coming weeks.

Happy trading...
