XOM – They just tested $100, but it held. We need a pretty spectacular failure in oil for this one to work out at this point but I do want to press our $6K loss into earnings (1/30 – a busy day) by picking up 30 March $95 puts for $1.
Those puts are $3.35 so there's the $6K back and, if you were playing them, you should be thrilled, not greedy and take $10,050 and run and maybe leave $1,000 worth (3-5) with stops at $3.

XOM finally taking the dip we expected on disappointing earnings. The last time we looked at those was when they tested $100 and I said:
