Paper trade for credit spread, selling vertical call for Jan options.

Sell 10 call

risk reward around 1:1

But the 10call is risk being exercise. Here are the chart and graph, hope you can give some comment. Thanks.

The $10 CALL that you sell will be offset by the $20 call that you buy.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

yes. Since the current price is higher than 10 call strike price, some may exercise the call to buy the stock at cheaper price.

If the stock price is lesser than 20, it may make sense to buy from share from market. it is cheaper than to exercise the 20 call. Furthermore, 20 call is worth more and can be sold to cover some cost.

Is this how you normally handle the options? What are other methods that you used?

I think selling 10/20 call spread is a bad idea, because of the big difference in delta. 10 call woul have much higher delta. So probably lesson learn are:
- spread too wide compared to underlying price
- sell deep ITM leg is also bad idea.

$CROX has a a few bearish signals aligned.

1. From the Chikou Span, we can see a Head and Shoulder formation is sighted.

2. The Chikou Span has also cut the Tenkan sen; a confirmation that the support has been breached.

3. Tenkan sen has cut Kijun sen; forming a weak bearish cross.

Currently, the price is trading just above the kumo. However, we can see that the kumo support is not very thick and $CROX can easily pierce through this support and head towards $15 in fast trades.

This is one company that is gone.

While they are struggling, Converse got acquired by Nike recently as they have a stronghold in the 'retro' sales market.

Crocs Said to Explore Alternatives After Buyout Talks Falter

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-1 ... alter.html

Crocs Inc., the shoemaker known for its brightly-colored clogs, held buyout talks that are unlikely to lead to a sale, leaving it to consider other options to boost value, people with knowledge of the matter said.

Blackstone Group LP, which had explored a takeover, is now in discussions with Crocs about alternative deals, one person said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. The options include a stake sale or joint venture, another person said. KKR & Co. and other private-equity firms have decided against a bid, people said.

One hurdle to a buyout is the drop in Crocs’s shares this year, which has resulted in potential buyers seeking a price that is far lower than the Niwot, Colorado-based company would accept, two people said. The shares, which ended yesterday 30 percent below their high of $17.95 in May, have tumbled as the company cut profit and sales forecasts.

One of the bigger issues for this company right now is management credibility,” said Michael Swartz, an analyst with SunTrust Banks Inc. in Atlanta who has a neutral rating on the shares. “It seems like they don’t have great visibility into their own business.”

Hey Day

Crocs rose almost 10 percent to $13.89 in New York today, its biggest gain in over a year, giving the company a market value of about $1.23 billion.

The company has struggled since 2007 to recapture the growth and profitability that it enjoyed when its clogs were still faddishly popular. Its market value peaked at over $5.6 billion that year, before tumbling along with profits that were hurt by competition from knockoffs as well as the decision to sell the clogs -- now called Crocs Classic -- everywhere, including in gas stations.

The shoemaker, which also sells other styles of shoes that bear no resemblance to the clogs, may report income of about $65 million this year, analyst projections compiled by Bloomberg show. That’s compared with earnings of $131 million in 2012, and $168 million at the peak in 2007, the data show.

A buyout would be a good option for Crocs, with private-equity firms potentially able to boost profitability by cutting costs, said Steven Marotta, an Albany, New York-based analyst at CL King & Associates.

“It’s buyout or really, really, really theoretically dead money for quite some time,” he said in a telephone interview. “The company has a very clean balance sheet. They also have depressed operating margins which financial buyers I’m sure would look to bolster.”

Crocs had about $300 million in cash and almost no debt as of Sept. 30.

Targets Cut

In September, the company cut a profit and sales forecast for the third quarter that it had provided less than two months earlier. Earnings also fell short of expectations in July.

Another option for Crocs is to find a buyer from within the apparel industry, said Matt Powell, an analyst for researcher SportsOneSource, which tracks the U.S. footwear industry. The company is dependent on warm-weather shoes, so if the spring or summer is abnormally cold, like this year, it can damp sales, he said.

“A volatile brand that is so weather dependent would be well served to be tucked in with a larger company,” he said.

The gap in price expectations would also make a sale to a strategic buyer a challenge, one person said.

Chief Executive Officer John McCarvel and spokeswoman Katy Lachky didn’t respond to several requests for comment. Spokesmen for Blackstone and KKR also declined to comment.
