Update: Momentum Trades Using Options

I've made a few moves and wanted to bring everyone up to speed.

I closed out my Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) May 2015 $70.00 call at $14.30, which I originally purchased for $8.21. I still have confidence in SWKS, so I took some of the profits and re-invested in a further out of the money call. I purchased a May 2015 $100.00 call for $1.90. This allowed me to lock in some profit and still have some upside with SWKS.

I closed out my Celgene (CELG) May 2015 $125.00 call at $4.00, which I originally purchased for $6.35, so took a loss. Looking back, I had an initial opportunity to make a small profit, but let it run too long.

I'm still in my U.S. Oil ETF (USO). On multiple occasions I've come close to locking in some profit, but willing to let this "run" a bit more. Oil remains very volatile, so looking for a profit over $5.00.

One trade I didn't post here, but did sent out Tweets that I went short Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF). Five days ago, I purchased a May 2015 $25.00 put at $2.50 and following their horrible announcement sold it today at $4.60.

Momentum Trades Using Options

I entered three new positions using call options: Celgene (CELG) April 2015 $125.00 call for $6.35 Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) May 2015 $70.00 call for $8.21 U.S. Oil ETF (USO) October 2015 $15.50 call for $3.55

The genesis for my first two choices: CELG is continued upward chart pattern and support along 10-week moving average. SWKS is coming out of some consolidation and I'm hoping will springboard higher. The choice to dip my toe into USO is strictly based on the huge downward drop. I'm thinking the volatility will level out and prices will begin to level off if not rise.
