Shifted HD hedges to XHB

Yesterday, my GTC order to buy to close +HDCZ (HD Mar 32.5 call option) for 0.05 hit. This was a covered call I sold on some HD stock I was assigned from previous put selling at the 32.5-37.5 levels. At 0.05, it was not a good hedge and wasn't earning me much time premium. Given that HD reported today, I figured I'd want to get the upside if there was any. There wasn't and the reason I was able to close the options yesterdays was because other people already knew that and the implied volatility had fallen. Either way, I am just following my risk management plan.

I have been wanting to short some XHB for a while now but they are hard to borrow. So yesterday, I tried to sell some XHB Mar 21 call options naked at the ask but that didn't work. And for the first time in a while, luck was on my side. Despite more nasty economic numbers, we get another 6.4% gain in XHB lead by gains in HOV and LEN. So I sold a few front month call options naked at the 22 strike for around 1.50. This should give me a short position at 23.50 which is a little below the 200 day moving average. I haven't done much shorting before so I am just playing around. I figured that with my housing heavy portfolio (CBG, HD, BBBY), having a bit of a hedge on XHB couldn't be that bad.

I also tried to sell some April 65 FWLT puts (idea stolen from here) for 3.90 but it didn't execute. I like going long after a big drop but I have learned from experience. Stocks that fall hard tend to fall slowly afterwards. Often, you'll get another chance at the current price some time later or at a better price. So, I wasn't too eager to buy on an up day. But I will try again tomorrow, if it keeps dropping. 61.10 is an ok breakeven price for FWLT but not the sort of value I am looking for. For example, it is not as good of a value as AEO at 15.

I am practicing market discipline right now and keeping buying power high while hedging any of my positions that hit near term highs. I want to get out of as much stock as I can while maintaining positive delta. If EMC keeps going up, I am going to sell calls on my stock and start closing the puts I recently put on.

Tried to grab some EMC, got greedy and missed it

The EMC options did not hit my target price when it opened (just like the model said). I slowly lowered by limit order and chased it all day. Didn't execute. Will try again tomorrow. FOMC statement coming out. It could go either way. If they cut big, then they are panicking and Bernanke put will be in the news. If they don't, people will whine. Either way, it could be up or down but probably volatile.

I noticed that VMW kept dropping during the day while EMC recovered. It was mostly due to the positive earnings report from EMC this morning. However, it does confirm (maybe confirmation bias) my theory that EMC is a fundamental play whereas VMW is a momentum play. Although I am not going to try to short VMW.

I am also going to try to grab some positive delta on Yahoo by selling out of the money naked puts. Today after the close, it reported earnings and wasn't too good. The main problem was that a part of the call was quotable. Everyone is talking about the 'Substantial Headwinds'. Down 9+% to 18.90. Also, laying off 1000 people. The cost cutting should be good for Yahoo to focus on their core business. Google isn't as great as people say and Yahoo isn't as bad. Reversion to the mean happens. I need to do some more due diligence but it's on my watch list (so I must have already looked at it before). We'll see how it trades tomorrow.

Also noticed LEN and other homebuilders at short term highs and overbought. Very tempting to short XHB (Spiders Homebuilders ETF) via options. Shorting the index is probably less risky than shorting individual companies. I am going to wait to see if there is an opportunity to deploy capital in EMC or YHOO. If I have the excess margin, I might get my feet wet. I like collecting premium so I'd probably sell a naked call rather than buy a put.
