My Life My Trade

BOT them here for $1.70 –29% profit after commissions

Ags are sporting a dead-cat bounce and are running into overhead resistance providing a nice shorting opportunity again. The downside target will be lower than the most recent low.

This is a position on which I am willing to take quite a bit of pain as I believe that we will see much lower prices on Ag stocks before July Opex.

Other stocks in this sector that I sometimes trade are MOS, POT, CF & AGU. For some reason, I have had better luck with IPI in the past and I am sticking with it.

BOT them for $1.85 yesterday, 20% profit

Same sector as MOS – nicely oversold. Looking for a bounce back up. Entered calls at around $24.50 price level. Downside limited to $23. On the upside, I am looking for $28.50 – $29 level.
