Freeport-McMoRan
Yesterday afternoon, I tried to add to the position of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX:NYSE), but the stock and call options refused to trade at my price, so this morning:
For more conservative investors:
- Buy 50% position (1,000 shares) FCX at $45.50
- Buy the remaining 50% position (1,000 shares) at $44.50, good through November 5 (election day).
For more aggressive traders:
- Buy 50% position (25 contracts) FCX December $40 calls at $6.50
- Buy the remaining 50% (25 contracts) of FCX December $40 calls at $4.50, good through November 5 (election day).
iShares Silver Trust ETF
For iShares Silver Trust (ETF) (SLV:NYSE), yesterday,
- Bought 25 calls SLV December $30 at $2.19
I will own 100 calls by the end of next week unless it breaks below the $33.50 level at which point I will call it a “failed breakout” and be forced to bail.
Stay tuned.
