Hi all,

I am back from my holiday and as every holiday it was short. I tried not to follow too much of what’s going on, but I couldn’t ignore the bounce that the markets had. As I said I put my FTSE 4000 Call option for April in my friend hands because he holds the same option.

But I didn’t know when he closed the position. On Friday when I saw that the FTSE 100 is around 4100 and the option price is almost 200 I couldn’t resist the temptation and gave him a call. “I am sorry, but I closed the position a bit early at 99″. Dam! still I understand why he did it and it was wise to do so.

And the bottom line is that I made more than %100 on this option so I don’t want to be greedy. We bought it on March the second for 47 and sold it on 27/3 for 99. Not bad… if my friend would waited another week we would have made 400%. I just love options!

So what’s next? I don’t know. I am still in holiday mood and I need to read what I missed for the last 3 weeks. But I will continue to buy options against the trend.
