Portfolio of the Week 2010

[JohnHenry]

John Henry, EZPW had a nice move today!! I am holding some $22.50 Dec calls. I hope it keeps going!!

Yeah, this is a very moody stock. I don’t like the swing gap. Swing between lower 18’s to mid 19’s for several weeks, making it hard to find a proper buy point. I think it may pull back next week, I hope so.

I don’t know how to play calls and puts yet. Maybe after I have a handle on trading stocks I will learn puts and calls.
