  3. darn thing is giving me palpitations.. any suggestions..

    close. for loss... or roll to next strike.. h ha .and do the typical double. since

    i am -130$ on the 85. call

    sell 3 of the 90.. and then when it crossed 90

    sell 6 of the 95.. call .

    isnt that call the martingale doom strategy.. lol..

    fortunately , as I sell naked calls, I do only 1. no matter how tempting it is.

    I'm so jittery watching this one, I had to get some tea to calm me down.

    My suggestion is watch GMCR revert to $69.37 before expiration...

    Either that or it's going straight to 100.00 :D

  6. from a risk reward perspective I would have waited until monday or tuesday to see what "normal" trading does with this market. The entire move up in the last week can be doubled in one day next week easily.. the only way I would have made that trade was if i was long the stock and equivalent amount of shares as eh options. If you are nervous about a trade then get out or seriously reduce size.

    There is no reason to sell naked options during a holiday week in my opinion. You have no read on what's going to really happen in the real market..... next week.

    I traded a few times using the powerratings and it worked out well.

    plan

    doesnt it work out to be like 40-50 cents a cup for coffee? Kind of pricey for home-made coffee to have lasting power, no?

    No position.

  9. The stock has momentum. If they say "split", then it will be 100.

  10. how many times do u split. by pulling a fast one. ha ha

    they already split 3:2( ever wondered why such confusing ratios) why not a plain 2:1 or 3:1 ?

    and also issued another 10% shares thus increasing dilution.

    this beast whipsaws.. lets see which way in the next 2 weeks.
