I plan to close both of these end of this week, hoping theta + Vol crush is greater on the weekly. But the range that AAPL needs to stay in after...
That'll probably work out in the end but seems a little too risky for my taste given the shifty market right now and who knows what else will come...
Wow, looking at the 5-day chart (see link below) I'm eerily accurate, although the neutral reactions end up being negative due to run ups. At any...
Possibly, but I lose respect for someone isn't willing to substantiate their claim. I'm also partially interested because I think GLD will...
My guess is his cards are going to disappear tomorrow. I was actually giving him a chance but not if can't explain why he's doing anything or...
I guess so, back to break even at least.
You're still that confident it's going to drop, and why didn't you create a stop loss when it was in the $0.70's?
Care to tell why and how much you are in for?
So many earnings...so little earnings talk. Lots of goodies this week. Here's my uneducated guess for some reactions (as opposed to the...
Aapl has been very good to you, but you have a big enough account to put $20k at risk in AAPL alone? What strategy/decisions are you using to...
Is there a way to lock him out of this thread, seems like FF is just provoking fights without much contribution, esp now with those annoying...
At 630 right now the whole thing has broke even which according to my calculations I would have expected a $2000 loss. Being expiration day...
Understand the neutral, but curious about 5-wide strangle, that just means if GOOG is at 642, the value of a 640 call + 645 put should be $5, but...
Just curious, don't most brokers let you cover exercised options during the next session without any charges/penalties? I suppose there might be...
Good point, I fluffed the 630 and 650 Apr 13 strikes ($12 instead of $10) but didn't do the same with the 640 apr 13's. Using ~$3 it would reduce...
I'm in a paper trade which is my guess at a Tarzan does Jane. +10 GOOG Apr 21 650 Calls $19 +10 GOOG Apr 21 630 Puts $14.7 -8 GOOG Apr 13 640...
I am interested in a strangle, but it looks GOOG has to move at least 6% to break even, it just seems like the odds of profit are low. How do you...
Yes, you lost $1 and a large part of that is probably due to bid-ask spreads because you're dealing with 4 legs. Lets say the bid or ask is $.15...
Just bought 20 ARNA May/July calendars at the $1 strike for $.14. They have a FDA Approval in July so I can't imagine there's not going to be...
Does your close before earnings comment apply to the straddle or is that playing a $45+ move after earnings?
