One stock I have been trading for a long time is Microsoft stock. For my online portfolio I started trading it in July 2009. You can review all the various years back to 2009 through the link below. I have some trades for 2014 still to update but all of 2015 is up-to-date.
There are a lot of interesting trades in 2015. This year has been particularly busy with Microsoft trades. The stock has been more volatile than in prior years and the return made to date at 23% shows that trading in this stock is well worth my risking capital against.
The decline today set up another trade which I will post separately about. This latest update however is of interest to members who are looking at how to repair or rescue trades. A number of the Microsoft trades I did in January of this year ended up deep in the money. If you go to the trades of Jan 15 and Jan 26 you can see how long it took to have these trades end. I did a lot of covered calls, but the in the money covered calls strategy is what made these trades highly profitable. The Jan 26 trade on its own earned 7% from when I started the trade on Jan 26 to when it ended on May 8.
The trade which I started on January 8 is interesting in that it shows the value of watching your trade and closing it for pennies when the chance arises.
There are a number of Bollinger Bands Strategy Trades as well worth reviewing. The June 17 trade ended just yesterday and its worth reviewing to see how to enter and why I decided yesterday to sell.
There is also the trade done today that is worth a look. The big drop today in the stock was made worse by a very overbought condition. It was this same overbought condition that made me decide to sell yesterday as the stock kept climbing in anticipating of today’s earnings.
This latest update for Microsoft stock is also using the new trades layout format which I think is better and allows me to include a lot more information about trades. For those investors thinking of considering some of the same trades as my own, this new format is good for reviewing as it gives a good indication of what I am doing and how the trades are working out. Any questions can be posted to the article itself or youc an contact me through this form.
