Trade of the Day (WSM) 5.21.2012

Break-even:  I break-even on this trade if WSM closes at $35.40 on June 15, 2012.

Unprofitable:  I lose money on this trade if WSM closes above $35.40 June 15, 2012.  The most I can lose on this trade is the amount I paid can be worth $3 minus the price I sold it for, $1.60 for a total of $1.40.  

Reason I Like This Trade:  WSM has sold off the last 4 times, so I think it will continue.  Also, I will not lose money on this trade even if it rallies, because I am selling premium.  

UPDATE 5.22.2012  Part of the reason I liked this trade is because I think the stock market is headed lower.  I will leave this Spread on as it closed worth $1.30

UPDATE 5.24.2012  I talked about this yesterday in the LIVE trading room, I took off half the position at $1.65 and I still in the other half and it is worth $1.25

UPDATE 5.29.2012  I am glad I took half of my position off for a profit and I am leaving the other half on, but the stock continues to work higher. 

UPDATE 5.30.2012  With a sell-off in the stock market today, I took the other half of my position off at $1.35 for a net of $1.50.  Time to move on to the next trade.
