AAPL JAN trade (closed $92 loss)



12/24/07
Christmas Eve trade on AAPL
sold (1) 195/240 CALL verticle for 11.10 credit
bot (2) 200/220 CALL verticle for 6.37 debit
total debit for trade is 1.64

Plan for trade is to close for 100% approx $200 profit and not loose more than $150
Observe the screen shot to see the death trough at 200 and bad area around +15%
need to keep an eye on these areas and be ready to close/adjust trade to avoid these risky areas.
The 200 point will not start to show unfavorable for till close to JAN expiration.

Plan did not go according to plan and is showing weakness, even if they blow minds at MacWorld and their earnings my theta decay around 200 is painful and I don't want to rely on a 15-20% move to make money. therefore, closed the trade for a small loss of $92.
