Option trades.....I'm still new at this....made some nice bucks lately, but I wanted a journal here to keep track of my trades. This way all I need to do is login and write, instead of searching all over for a home journal. Get my option trades from a service, but want to trade on my own soon. I hope this journal will give me a better view of how they are picking their trades. btw, all my trades are from US stock options. Let's get ready to rumble....Jay.

Yep, they did a lot of trading during my vacation. I came back last week and just started closing as much position as I could.....I also have not added the positions I took last week from them. MON puts, MOS puts, APOL calls. I did miss of their nice trades in RIMM, FLR, and GS calls though but that's okay as I also missed some big losers you mentioned too. Vacation was worth it. I'll post those closed trades on my journal later today along with the new trades I got yesterday.
For the past week, I also bought 6 IBM Feb. 90 calls at $2.60 ($1,574.95), bought 6 DNA Feb. 90 calls at $2.75 ($1,664.95), 10 CSX Feb. 30 puts at $1.75 ($1,765), and 10 JPM Jan. 26 puts at $1.31 ($1,325). Then, this morning came a trade for RIG puts. I bought 8 RIG puts at $2.90 for ($2,334.95).
As for their performance results, I think it's YK Investment - Earnings Past Results for their earning trades, and YK Investment - Universal Current Positions for their universal trades. You might want to double check on their site though as last time I checked was a good 3-4 months ago.
