Holding Rationale for FRE.

This time I'm willing to be more patient than just getting out at a 1$ gain. This time I'm also going to sell some puts if and when I see the big volume coming in. I'll buy em back when it hits 12 and I'll think about letting go of the common when and if it hits 12$.


I expect the next few weeks the indices will keep creeping up higher despite the  break in the support trend line today on the SPY and the lower dollar. I could be wrong though, tops are tougher to spot with the indicators I use. Here's one of them.


__________________________________________________________________________


FRE tanked on me all the way down to 2.95 :-( my position was down 33%

but the volume was so good today that I had to add more at 3.02 since my position was so small. Now I'm 25% in. As i'm typing this its breaking intaday resistance at 3.15 to the upside on fantastic volume! almost touching the 200M! amazing.

It hurts taking a 33% hit even on the tiniest positions, but no pain no gain.

_________________________________________________________________

I also made the bad mistake of selling a SEP 6 put at 3 when the common was 3.2 and I bought it back when it broke 3.15 taking a 20c loss on the option.

I realized that I cannot risk betting on the timing of this stock to reach my 12$ selling target within 30 days. So I bought more common instead.
