Research In Motion (RIMM, $65.40, down $0.40)

Feb 60 puts (RFYNL, $1.35, down $0.09)

Entry Price:  $1.50 (1/6/10)
Exit Target:  $3.00   
Return: -10%
Stop Target:  75 cents

Action:  RIMM teased us yesterday by dipping below $65 and rebounding but the message is clear.  We think this stock is ready to break down like a rented mule.  Resistance is at $68 and our near-term target is $62 then $60.


Las Vegas Sands (LVS, $18.10, down $0.17)

February 18 calls (LJJBR, $1.46, down $0.18)

Entry Price:  $0.95 (1/5/10)
Exit Target:  $2.00   
Return: 54%
Stop Target: $1.10 

Action:   Continue to hold. 


Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR, $82.94, up $0.16)

February 95 calls (QGMBS, $1.60, down $0.15)

Imax (IMAX, $14.31, up $0.25)

Entry Price:  $1.05 (12/15/09)
Exit Target:  $2.00+
Return: 52%
Stop Target:  $1.45
 
Action:   These options expire next Friday and we don’t want to hold these call options over the weekend.  Try to close the calls for $2 again today by setting good ‘til cancel (GTC) orders and be sure to lock in profits if the options dip below $1.50.
