Close out Old Semi Trade and New Semi Trade

TXN raised guidance and the stock sold off, so I don’t want to be exposed there. I would recommend you exit the second half of that trade for a loss– should be a scratch trade.

Meanwhile, MRVL is showing some technical strength. I like this for a short term trade:

mrvl 541x420 Close out Old Semi Trade and New Semi Trade

1. Get long on a break of 18.10

2. Put a stop at 17.75

3. Take off 1/2 at 1830, move stop to breakeven.

That is my execution strategy. I am using the Jan 17.5 Calls as a buy– 10 of them.
