Kevin, Wouldn't the fact that RIMM's reports quarterly results on Thursday 16th not effect this trade? Given that these results are likely to come midway through the period at which the trade is taking place?
I'm aware of the earnings report and I am actually short RIMM for the past few days. I'm not sure if I want to take this position into the report on the 16th. I guess it all depends on what RIMM does Tuesday and Wednesday which will determine what I will do.
Kevin, presumably your stop would be 46-47 for this trade?
Where would your technical target be?
I took the trade off early this morning when I saw the S&P was bascially flat but RIMM was moving higher. I was hoping to have a profit going into earnings but instead I took a small loss and am out of the trade.
Thanks for the update Kevin, much appreciated.
