Today’s Transactions:
a). Sold DFS at $26.58 Reason: Spinned-off from Morgan Stanley, Discover will increase its marketing expense in the second half of this year and as a result, will most likely reduce its short-term earnings. In addition, the earning picture and the competition with MasterCard and Visa create too much uncertainty. Will reconsider this stock after 1 or 2 quarters. b). Sold FRO Aug 50 Put at $2.55 Reason: it has breached my stop-loss of $48. So close the position and move on. c). Bought NUE Oct 80 Put at $20.60 Stop when the stock closes above $64 Reason: Steel prices have weakened noticeably recently in both North America and Asian markets.
