Ok, here are the ones Im going to do:
AAPL (start after earnings)
BIDU (start after earnings)
APA (start after earnings)
XOM (start after earnings)
MSFT (start today)
SNDK (start today)
VXX (start today)
GS (start today)
I'll open an independent thread on them all.
I also have opened an overall volatility hedge, purchasing December VXX 33 calls to hedge against a sudden move that wipes all of my short positions at once. The hedge cost me 20% of the anticipated profits. It might be after close before I get each thread open.
And to clarify, I am PAPER TRADING GS, MSFT, XOM, and BIDU.
I am using real money on VXX, SNDK, APA, and AAPL, as well as the hedge. I'm only committing 50% of my possible allocation to this type of trade for the first six weeks.
