Last Monday the 10th, I bought 5 puts on GILD after sensing things were turning negative on this stock. The markets are also turning, so I thought I would give my first negative or down trend trade a try. Things started off bad with the announcement by Gilead that over three years they would be doing an 8 billion stock buy back. I stuck with the trend and after Thursday and Friday down markets, I’m in the money.
I would really like to see this stock fall through 37 before the end of May then I may take my profit. Right now the puts are in a trading range of 2.22 and 2.27 or about a 6.5% gain. Either way, I like the trend and the profit so far.
