So I get the basic concept of pair trading but why short XOM? Is it simply because they seem to be overvalued in your estimation? Just curious to your reasoning as most on this board hold long positions on XOM. Or maybe Im misunderstanding how to correlate stocks for pair trading...

Not going long APA
Posted on 2/11/16 at 7:39 am to TheHiddenFlask
No current pair trades, but since January I'm in these positions as trades:
GM Long Mar 33 Puts (Edit - Closed)
XLF Long Apr 22 Puts
DRI Long Apr 55 Calls
LMT Long Jun 200 Calls
XLNX Sold Mar 41 Puts
DRI Sold Mar 55 Puts
Darden is kind of a pair trade, but not technically a pair trade.
I was in GDX/DXY and VIX/SPX.
I'm not sure everyone should be making pair trades, but this is my extremely conservative current trades.

I wouldn't be long on any resource/shale producer at this point. Lots of these companies might not be alive at this point next year, although I would think Anadarko would be one of the safer bets.

Dumb questions but what is a call and a put?
Posted on 2/11/16 at 8:06 am to JamalSanders
A call is a long position with a predetermined maximum certain loss, a put is a short position with a predetermined maximum loss.
So above I paid for the right to either buy or sell the stock at a set price, except for the last two trades where I sold someone the right to sell those stocks to me at a set price.

Call = option to buy. Buy a call option if you think the price of the underlying security is going to increase.
Put = option to sell. Buy a put option if you think the price of the underlying security is going to decrease.

I wish I was in VIX/SPX today. Alas, only in VIX as insurance.

Opened Short ALLY/Long VIX Calls. Day trade.

This x 1000. I think we are do a bounce in oil at any time from a technical standpoint. Fundamentals are horrible though so a bounce will be short lived IMO.

Link b/c the img won't work
When do we break out of the channel is the real question. I thought we were going to break out of it and hold the $32.5.

What's that a chart of?
Posted on 2/11/16 at 9:24 am to Iowa Golfer
That's a great explanation of a out and a call. I'm going to keep that one.

please explain your logic behind this...i'm having a hard time understanding your thesis
Posted on 2/11/16 at 3:10 pm to whodatigahbait
XOM is the shelter in the storm that every active manager without a thesis is running to. Lesser known names that are lightly leveraged will do better once the panic disappears.
