I usually do credit spreads...just not usually on earnings trades (AAPL above, notwithstanding, of course). The problem here is that absolute...
Well, a good call on both the entry and exits. No bonus points for guessing exit price or position size (which obviously wasn't 100 contracts)....
Well, TAP's a loser, but AAPL's did exactly as expected and covered the TAP losses handily. 1.15 lost on TAP, 1.27 won on AAPL. AIG is more...
24% commission (IN A MONTH!!!) Is insurmountable. That tips the odds ridiculously out of your favor. Put it this way, you're starting with .76,...
Yeah...that looks about like how I do on price movement exposure. Again, that's exactly why I trade options and do so with 5-7 positions to...
I do option credit spreads for exactly that reason. If I'm a lot right, I get a big winner. If I'm a little right, I get a solid winner. If I'm a...

If I'm pulling $220k a year from the market, turning a quick buck on a book deal doesn't even hit my radar (well, maybe a novel I enjoy).

Look at 'er go! I thought $22 was going to put up more of a fight...
I like it for $21 before Friday....but I'll jump ship if we see $21.50 beforehand
I did a half sized position on this one (of my standard position size)...I literally cannot keep market exposure this week because my winners are...
