Investment Idea Sharing June 13, 2015

Investment Idea Sharing – June 13, 2015 

See below for my personal stock market Buys or Sells for this week:
Buy Stock/ Fund: UVXY, RIG                                          
Sell Stock/Fund: USO

Sell (to Open) Covered CALL: RIG, USO  
Buy (To Close) Covered Call: none             

Sell (to Open) Cash Secured PUT: JDST, RIG, UVXY  
Buy (to Close) Cash Secured PUT: none        

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

The world market indices were mostly flat this week.  The US indexes (Dow, S&P 500, NASDAQ) remain within 3% of their all time highs.  But, the ShangHai Index (SSE) was UP 2.8% this week and is now up 155% from its 52 Week Low. 
See the Yahoo 5 year chart for SSE here:

Here is the Yahoo chart comparing the 5 year performance of SSE v.s. S&P 500:

Note from this chart that both indexes are up about 100% over the past 5 years. The big difference is that the S&P 500 went up steadily every year and the SSE went down until July 2014 and then roared up 155% over the just past year. 

The price of oil went UP this week and ended at $59.96, up from $59.13 last week.
