My Internet Link Is Down But I'll Still Try To Trade

You must have realized by now that my blog FinanceTwitter has not been updated since two days ago. Reason being the fixed-phone line which is the gateway for my internet connection is out of order. Numerous reports have been made to customer service – it seems my area is affected by so-called cabling problem (the support engineers do not have any concrete ideas of the source of the problem themselves). The problem still persists till today as of my current writing – the customer service is not answering the call despite my never-ending dial-in via mobile.

The last entry before this very post was actually posted under Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX, stock) wireless internet connection. And I’m currently blogging from cyber-cafes / internet-cafes (I can’t take any more coffee latte) – I can’t live without the internet.

However I managed to enter some trades before I was off-line two days ago. Trading U.S. options online provide you the flexibility of opening a position before market open if you choose the option of “Good Until Cancelled” under your broker’s trading platform – meaning your trade(s) order will stays till your limit order is met or you cancel it manually.

I didn’t post any research on my previous trades due to obvious reason stated above. Anyway below were my positions which were triggered:

  • Eagle Materials, Inc.(NYSE: EXP, stock) – Apr 45 Call
  • SBUX Corp. (Nasdaq: SBUX, stock) – Apr 32.5 Call

Obviously, my bet on both didn’t produce the result I desire – but with the fundamental in place, I hope both will behave for the coming days.
