Today I sold December 15/12.50 put spreads on A-Power (APWR) before they announce earnings tomorrow. I also opened Gold SPDR (GLD) call spreads as I think we'll continue to rally into year end. I took advantage of weakness in Google (GOOG) and Visa (V) and purchased back my covered call options as I will wait for strength to write them back out. I closed my December 16 put position for a nickel a share on Corning (GLW) this morning and the stock looks hot, so I may look at opening January call spreads if I see it continue the trend. Happy trading! Sphere: Related Content
