Hey Guys,
First the change. It's with regard to the VMW options. VMW apparently was involved in some sort of spinoff on Monday after the close, and as a result its stock price and options strikes got recalibrated. I got a notice that my options positions were "changed" to new strike prices. I have updated the website to reflect the new strikes, and I also indicated a new profit target. The old profit target is no longer relevant.
I bought a couple stock positions in the new account. One was CHRW and the other was ORCL again (it was a double down trade). In the low-priced account I bought shares of SLV and BLDR.
NTR hit its profit target this morning after last night's earnings announcement. I also closed PANW since it reached its time limit, and that garnered a half-sized profit. COP had earnings overnight, and its stock price today has been incredibly tame. You never know what you're going to get with these earnings day trades.
There is an FOMC meeting taking place over the next two days (today and tomorrow). Jerome Powell is likely to speak tomorrow about it. There is sometimes market volatility surrounding these meetings, and in 2021 in particular some sharp market dips were triggered by these meetings. I'm going to stick to the plan like always and honor the trade rules I posted for each trade in my portfolio, but if you're concerned about potential volatility you could always consider flattening any of your positions until the dust settles.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
