Update to my Goldman Sachs PUTS

With the financial mess getting really ugly I decided to sell 3 of my GS contracts today for a total of $19,740 or $65.80 premium per share (as GS traded down near a low of 90 today)! I still hold 7 contracts which I will wait to sell, because I have a feeling GS and the market as a whole might be headed lower!

PUT Goldman Sachs in its place

Today I am writing about some PUTS I purchased to hedge myself. I own GS stock so I purchased 10 contracts (while GS was trading at about 171 per share) for the October expiration for the 145 strike. Goldman is the last financial giant standing, and honestly I don't think they can avoid this credit mess, therefore I purchased 10 contracts for a total of $1400 today. So with almost 50 days until these PUTS expire I will see what kind of profit I can pull. I will keep everyone updated when and at what price I sell the contracts.

Hello World

Hello, and welcome to my blog. I have been investing in stocks and options since I was 11 years old (That's over 10 years ago now). My first stock was Corning Glass Works (GLW) and I purchased 45 shares at around 34 a share. I later sold my shares for over 200 a share during the tech boom in Summer 2000. Ever since making my first dollar I have been fascinated with the financial markets. I mainly am creating this blog to share my strategies with others, as well as "journal" my ideas so I can see how I did... Hope you enjoy reading my blog.
