Goldman top trades for 2015:

#1 – Get set for a further slide in the euro

The bank forecasts EUR/USD to fall to 1.15 over the next 12 months, in equal parts a reflection of its dollar bullish view and euro bearish outlook. “Position for the downside via a one-year 1.20/1.15 put spread for around a 4.5 to 1 potential maximum payout.

#2 - Buy 10-year U.S. Treasurys with yields above 3% but not below 2%


The bank expects 10-year U.S. Treasurys, currently yielding around 2.3%, to trade at or above 3.0% by next June.

#3 - Long a Dec-2015 Eurostoxx 50 ‘bull’ call spread

Economists see scope for a pick-up in euro area growth in 2015 that is not reflected in market prices yet.

#4 - Long U.S. High-Yield credit risk

The recent underperformance of the U.S.High-Yield market should prove transitory, the bank reckons.

#5 - Long an equity basket of emerging market crude oil importers

The slide in oil does have benefits.

#6 - Sell the Swiss franc against the Swedish krona

A monetary policy divergence play.

#7 - Short copper against nickel

Position for copper underperformance relative to Nickel via Dec-15 LME futures,says the bank. This would be a way to play the theme of "supply differentiation" as copper enters a once-in-20-year supply cycle, resulting in above-trend supply growth.

#8 - Long dollar against a basket of the South African rand and the Hungarian forint

Achillion call expired worthless

Thank you much for the $900.

No better feeling than writing a covered call for a high premium that expires worthless and the stock is up from where you bought it, so you can write another call with a high premium.

Next up... write a LEAP call for a high premium, which will guarantee about $1500 in profit even if the stock goes to zero and then use some of that money to buy a bunch of calls for the inevitable buyout.
