Bought LDK Solar (LDK) - again

We bought LDK Solar at $30.49 per share yesterday at the open. The stock is down about 40% after 3rd quarter earnings came out in mid-December. Margin worries had caused several analysts to downgrade the stock. Even the reassuring press release in early January failed to convince analysts as the stock plunged another 30%. With this trade, our cash position has come down to 7.54%.

  • For SunTech Power (STP), we wrote a call option for March 45 (see first table) and so the price is listed as $45 as we won’t participate in the appreciation beyond that plus the premium received.
