M&A in a volatile market
The market was very volatile yesterday. It started slightly in the red, then green a bit, and then red again. By mid-day, Dow Jones was up more than 100 points. But, DJIA finally gave up the gains (ended 55 points compared to Friday close) and break through its 13,000 support level!
Anyway, the trades were all about IBM acquiring COGN for $5 billion. Typically (but not always) the acquired company will gain in stock value and the acquiring company will lose a bit. But apparently, acquiring COGN will bring in great values and investors see this and shoot up IBM stock price.
Another good example of a 'win-win' M&A (merger & acquisition) is the recent BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RTP) one!
COGNOS (COGN)
Straight ITM Nov-07 52.5 Call
Entry 2,25 Exit 2.50 (11% profit)
Day trade based on TCT
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINE (IBM)
Straight ITM Nov-07 100 Call
Entry 4.00 Exit 4.50 (12.5% profit)
Day trade based on my 'revised' TCT
Anyway, I lost US$700 (for 2 contracts) on my personal account for GOOGLE (GOOG), since it dropped more than 100 points over the past few days. Fortunately, I don't trade stocks (otherwise, 2 lots x 100 points loss = $20,000!!!).

Winning Tuesday!
The night started red yesterday. I closed a position in the red for VRTX. But the market 'greened' up for me after that.
I had my first position in my managed account.
MASTERCARD (MA)
Straight ITM Nov-07 195 Call
Entry 6.30 x 2 & 5.20 x 1 Exit 7.20 x 3 (23% profit)

But after that, I can't day trade in my managed account and thus, I traded on my own account as I see many opportunities in the market.

Written in KL
I'm away in Kuala Lumpur for the weekend since last Friday for the Money Mastery course in Palace of the Golden Horses.
We did a lot of things: one of which was to 'Go For Broke' and they dumped us at KLCC. We have absolutely nothing (except being dressed in business wear) with no ID, no cash, no watch, or simply means that we have nothing to even pawn.
Not trading these few days.
p/s: I will be back in Singapore on Tuesday evening!
