Week In Review (USO, JP Morgan, more)

This week there was a purchase of  JP Morgan August $60.00 call options. The post for the purchase is here. There were no sales this week.

USO - The July $40.00 call is still being held. It is still out of the money. The action in Iraq as well as 2nd quarter GDP numbers continue to put upward pressure on the price of the ETF. The expectation is for the USO to reach $41.00. The goal of the option is being brought down to $1.00.

JPM - The August $60.00 call is still being held. It is still out of the money. The stock keeps pushing up against resistance at the $58.00 level. We believe that earnings will carry the stock price into the $61-$62 range.

Week In Review ($USO, more)

There were no purchases or sales this week. The financial industry is looking good for a possible call purchase through XLF ETF or one of the banks.

USO

KDK Options is continuing to hold its July $40.00 call options. Currently, the price of USO is $39.10. The continuing crisis in Iraq is giving some support to the price. The economy is also moving forward having some effect on supplies. If refineries in Iraq are taken off line, the likelihood of a spike in oil prices is high.

WFC July $52.50 Call Options Trade Closed Out

Today, KDK Options closed out its trade in Wells Fargo July $52.50 call options. The price of the trade was $0.70. The reasons for the early sale below.

- The stock has moved a large amount in a quick amount of time. With the option price still 100 percent time value, taking advantage of the large move seemed appropriate. The price of the stock is around $51.90.

- Resistance at the $52.00 for the stock seems strong.

- The ability to use the extra funds to compound the profits during the same time frame (July options) presents a great opportunity.

- It is rarely bad to ring the register!
