In a follow-up on my posting trading with machholz. . Here we have the earnings report for BAC.We are well on the way to target of $7.50 and I expect now to arrive sometime this year at a price of $15.00.As always I have the hedging in place and subsequently suffering a loss on the hedging to the downside but that is then cancelled out by the advance in the stock price and we have an overall plus position for the month so far of $5000:00.I will continue to add to the hedging as we have until march expiry and using this time to average down might still contribute to a free trade to the downside. Remember keep hedged as other market influences can bring about a sudden drop in the markets .
