  1. This was an investment move, but taking advantage of the price move and volatility. Short Oct 92.50 put, long 95 call on TAP for 1.25.

    Will take assignment or exercise accordingly come expiry.

  4. And IBM call spread 152.50 - 150 - .60 credit
    MO put spread 70 - 71.50 - .54 credit (actually did this one by mistake...meant to do 69.50 - 71...but oh well, this is good too).

  7. They're on my backup list...along worth ADBE and AMZN. The problem is, my radar is tech heavy already. All three are short listed, but need to demote some off.... ORCL, CSCO, EBAY, and HPQ are all getting my eye for the switch.

    Also, I just realized how tech heavy I was this week...with two bears, no less! o_O

    I spent the entire day researching the best way to short the Naz via the cheapest puts.

  9. What time frame? I'm bullish myself for the time being (I don't follow the Nasdaq much though...S&P is my thing)...admittedly not so much to not hedge...lol

    ...and realizing I missed my selling point on BABA Friday afternoon...and kicking myself for it.
