    PnL +8

    will look to re-enter

    sold 1 DNA March 85c @ 235 (I was plannning on scaling out of all 7 calls but the bid stayed @>2.30 for about a nanosecond.

    PnL -35

    still long 6 DNA March85c @ 2.75 (this stock is wearing out its welcome - hate to get impatient but every time the POS moves higher it is sold- and they keep generating more b.s. news like a patent issue that was now granted certiorari to the S. Ct.)

  4. APOL

    this POS has disappointed me for the last time! Once I cannot figure out a stock like this- I will try to exit with the least loss and look for something else to trade.

    This is a joke. I was going to take some short stock over the weekend in another account - but my analysis said it was going higher. Obviously this stock has a "mind" of its own and IF I cannot figure it out- then they can KMArse. I'm not interested in playing shell games with the scumbag NASD MMs or institutional pricks who are marking this down to accumulate while I watch my OTM calls waste away.

    Remember though- you always miss

    100%

    of the shots you don't take.

    The APOL trade is just ONE miss with approx 4 weeks to go.



    CME

    Doesn't every trader just love to see the broader markets sharply lower and yet the ONE stock they own puts not being marked lower and/or falling with the falling tide. Isn't that a great feeling! Yep. Sure is!

    So couple this with APOL being down almost a buck YET cme treading water and this is a day I'd rather be spending in Vegas. Maye the dice would be "luckier" ! :eek:

  7. Nice journal, but I am a little confused by your GOOG fill. The March 390 call traded between $7.00 and $10.00 today.

  9. thanks

    actually I sold the 390c the other day for 9.65. Then bought 2 GOOG 370c @17.40. So today I scratched those two calls since I didn't like the action in GOOG, and also think I will find a better entry on maybe 4-8 contracts later this week. I meant to say-- 370c not 390c

    :eek:

    Why not? Going for the 3-peat. Screwed up DNA and APOL trades so far-- that's TWO --- so why not put some icing on the cake, and get into another dog with fleas. :D :D
