May 15th Model Portfolio (Limit Orders for Tue):

This portfolio will be updated each night. Less than 10 trades a month are expected. Limit Order adjustments will be noted one trading day in advance. Completed trades at bottom of page.

The QQQQ sell orders are changed to sell between 40 3/4 and 41. Also, a QQQQ buy order is set at today's low. The RTP puts were sold at 5.20 and the 1,000 QQQQ calls were bought at 1.60 on the low open. The other 2,000 QQQQ calls were bought at 1.50 and the PD puts were sold at 6.50, which were the set prices.

Mon Executions:

Sold RTP Jul 210 puts 5.20 X 200 = $104,000 5/1 5.60
Sold PD Jun 90 puts 6.50 X 200 = $130,000 5/2 6.50

Portfolio at $1,000,000 on Mar 1st, 2006. This model portfolio will be compared to the Trading Portfolio for performance. Each trade will consist of roughly one-fourth of the portfolio. Options will normally be held for one to three months or until price targets, including stop losses, are reached. Few trades will be made. Option buying and selling prices will be listed one day in advance. This portfolio is for investors, who are too busy to watch the market closely (commissions $1 per contract).

*Special Note: One large short-term option trade became too risky and resulted in a very large loss. Longer-term options should have been bought. Consequently, that trade made a mess of this portfolio, which closed at $488,000 in mid-Apr. Also, a stop loss on another large trade resulted in a very large loss.
