April. 2015
SPY returned 0.9% in April 2015. Seems that the market is at its last phase
of a bull
expansion, as multiple stock repurchase programs did not really boost stock
performance. The biggest losing position was my LNKD, which dropped 20%
after
earnings release. This loss wiped out my profit on Amazon. Besides, the put
options on
WFM, TFM both worked well, but unfortunately the size of bets were small,
given my
lesson from BABA. My bet on interest rate rising did not yield anything as I
exited the
position before GDP release. Also took a loss on KR, smart move.
Lesson: This month the majority of my profit came from short term option
trading, while
my trading on stocks did not yield much. This is a dangerous sign.
