  1. Guys at my firm shorted 4K shares right before the halt. Not a bad way to end the day :D

    hello everyone,

    I bought some put and call contracts yesterday.

    So my question to hajimow and IV_Trader is , what's the price target would you close the put/short position?


    Thank in advance.

    I will cover it at $350 and look for another short opportunity. Now it is 367 after it went below 357. Some traders are covering it now and some are seeing GOOG as buy now that I believe it is not a good trade. I expect GOOG to hit $300 in a month. Tomorrow we will have a dozen of downgrade.
    I see $5 earning per share for next year and P/E of 60 will make GOGG a $300 stock.

    Gotta love that Naz halt about 15 seconds after the erns news hit the wire. Did anyone get a bust, or did they stick to the official (late) halt time?

  6. They stuck to the halt time I guess because they didnt break their trades.

  8. I heard the traders who trade earnings where I work offered down 30 pts right after the earnings were released and got off 4k no problem.

    Wish I had the stones to make those kinds of trades.

    Most of big houses don't trade AH. Tomorrow they will come and will ask for their chunk of profit from GOOG. We will have many forced to sell margin calls too. I expect to see $340 tomorrow and in a month to hit $300.
    We have to see at least 10 downgrades tomorrow.
