Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Trade 12-15

Forgot to post this one. I bought a few MSFT 30 Jan 08 Put options. MSFT has been on a good uptrend, but I feel it has hit the top. Look for a pull back to the mid 28's soon. At that point I will determine to hold or sell.

UPDATE 2-13: I sold my put options for MSFT. I felt it had hit support levels and will now make way towards resistance. This trade made a 25% gain.

It's been a while since I posted my newly aquired positions, I've been a tad busy. So in this post I am listing all the trades I have made over the past week.

NTGR Update 12-19: I sold NTGR today for a 2% gain. Felt it had peaked for now.

Lowe's Companies, Inc. (LOW) Investment 11-29-06

I bought some shares of Lowes the other day. Since I feel the bottom of the home building market is here, Lowes should turn up with the rest of the housing market.

Update 12-11: I got out of LOW today, I felt a down side coming and did not want to buy more on weakness. This investment turned into a trade, which profited a mere 8%. But hey, a profit is a profit.

Apple Computer, Inc. (AAPL) - Investment 12-1-06

Bought some Apple Shares today. While in the middle of a pretty big down day Apple was only down a little bit. That shows it has the strength to ride out the bears, this one will be on the rise through December/January.

Update: aapl has been on a small roller coaster lately, I have been buying it pretty heavily these last few days on it's way down. Today's low of mid 85 looks to be the bottom. Look for aapl to start its journey upward.

Update: Apple has been getting hammered in the last few days, so I have been buying as it gets hit. I have brought my cost basis down 9 points!! I am in the low low low 81's now. All this pain has given me the opportunity to get in the black, or very close atleast.

UPDATE 5-21-07: In the post where I sold an apple covered call I gave them the right to buy my apple shares at $100 per share. Well I got "called out". Meaning they exersized their option.(they opted to buy my share from me at $100) So I had to sell them! This trade made a 26% profit.

Google Inc. (GOOG) Investment 12-1-06

I bought some Google shares today. With the days decline, "the google" was on sale, so I pulled the trigger.

UPDATE 12-22: I sold goog today. I could take the pain no mo!! Chalk it up as a 15% loss. I know it will be going up from here cause it knows I sold.
