    So your saying to keep the 600's? till the news?

    QQQ not familiar with that yet..... :) why so positive?

    I am new with all this but I am good at math and like to learn.

    Thanks!.

    I recommend buying the QQQ puts during the next 6 days. Forget about the 600 AAPL calls.

    Should come up in some sort of drop down menu. Look for QQQ March Puts, there should be 3 chains for March with different expiry. March 1, March 16 and March 29

    Above average

    I am new and was doing very well with aapl, till it turned on me!

    in 4 weeks turned 1K into 20K :) then i boought my next batch of options that were always about $50 higher in the chain, but when aapl went backwards it screwed me up and now I am $80 out..... dang, to far out.... anyway it was quite the ride :)

    you can always drop me hints on what your doing.....

    how many contracts of the QQQ you into?

    ok.... i never think of buying 1......

    do you by many different options, and buy 1 each and spread the $ around....

    I am trying to come up with a game plan for myself....
