Thinking of the CME myself.....part of me wants to get in before earnings, which I suspect will be quite good this quarter, and part of me (the more conservative voice) says wait until afterwards. *shrug* We'll see. Also debating a speculative bull call option spread on AMZN going into earnings.
yeah i hear u thats what I did with 1000 shares of AAPL last night.. I got a phone call at 4.06 PM from a friend and he convinced me to sell them.. Do I need to say more?? That was a very very expensive phone call. I wasnt going to carry 1000 shares in earnings but i put aside 300 shares..thats until my phone rang
screw it... I'm in for 50 shares... let's gamble ... I think my odds are better than the roulette table.
I made nicely in AAPL today and now have 18 contracts on AMZN, probably should sell some before 4 pm, but probably will not. Its interesting how my option contract is lagging behind the stock more than it was this morning.
Your contracts maybe lagging because not much volatility so far this afternoon.. toward the end of the day this volatility will crank up
