Investment Idea Sharing March 28, 2015

Investment Idea Sharing – March 28, 2015 

See below for my personal stock market Buys or Sells for this week:
Buy Stock/ Fund:  none                                       
Sell Stock/Fund: none

Sell (to Open) Covered CALL: UVXY
Buy (To Close) Covered Call: none             

Sell (to Open) Cash Secured PUT: UVXY

See the details on each of these transactions below the Weekly Summary table.

The world market indices were mostly down this week.  Read more here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/p-500-clings-quarterly-gain-215925993.html

The price of oil went UP this week and ended at $48.87, up from $46.57 last week.

I have added a new Pre-Screened version of StockEvaluator.xls that screens for companies with good fundamental values whose stock price has dropped more than 10% over the past month.  Download this new screened spreadsheet here:  http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluator_monthly_drop.xls

I continue to look for stocks that have good fundamental financial values, but stock prices near 52 week lows and, where possible, near 5 year lows. 

I am also looking for ETF’s that pay at least a 1% PUT Option premium for a 1 week expiration, at a strike price near their 52 week LOW.

Here are my Option (CALL or PUT) Sells/Buys for This Week:
Option: Sell to Open Covered CALL 
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 3/26/2015
Expiration Date:  4/17/2015
Strike Price: $19
Option Price: $1.16
These UVXY shares had been PUT to me at $17 on 3/20/2015.  UVXY is so volatile that the PUT premiums were still pretty high when I looked a little farther into the future for expiration date.  I decided to take some money off the table by selling this call which paid me a 6.1% premium over the next 22 days, and if CALLed would also make me $2 profit between my UVXY purchase price of $17 and the strike price of $19.

Option: Sell to Open Cash Secured PUT 
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 3/25/2015
Expiration Date:  3/27/2015
Strike Price:  $14
Option Price: $.22
I sold this PUT in my hope that UVXY would not go below $14 because the S&P 500 was going down and the ^VIX was going up on Monday and Tuesday this week.  This PUT paid me a 1.5% return for two days.

Option: Buy to Close Cash Secured PUT 
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 3/26/2015
Expiration Date:  3/27/2015
Strike Price:  $14
Option Price: $.01
In one day, UVXY jumped over $2.50 as the S&P 500 continued going down sharply.  I was able to buy back my PUT from the day before for only $.01.  I then turned around and immediately sold a new cash secured PUT on UVXY at strike of $15, see below. 

Option: Sell to Open Cash Secured PUT 
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 3/26/2015
Expiration Date:  4/2/2015
Strike Price:  $15
Option Price: $.44
I sold this PUT in my hope that UVXY would now stay above $15 for another week.  This PUT paid me a 2.9% return for a week.
