6/7 – 3:15 p.m. New York time

I entered two new position today, an earnings play on SJM and a volatility play on MSFT, and exited two, JKS and PLAY.

6/7 – 12;35 p.m. New York time

My exit order on JKS has gone through. I shall update the analysis with results shortly.

6/7 – 9:45 a.m. New York time

I shall analyze SJM today as a potential trade. I’m passing on TLRD — the options grid simply isn’t liquid enough to meet my standards.

I exited PLAY for a profit this morning and have placed an exit order on JKS.

6/6 – 8 p.m. New York time

I have two prospective trades for Wednesday: SJM and TLRD. Both are earnings plays, and both have marginally acceptable options grids. I shall look at them after the opening bell on Wednesday and make a final decision on whether or not to proceed with analysis.
